I am greatly saddened to hear of Keith's passing. I met him while studying engineering at the University of Wyoming and he quickly friended me. He was a wonderful man with quick wit and welcoming smile. I've thought of him and Amy many times of these past four decades knowing they were living their best lives. Peace to all of those who knew and loved him.

I am deeply sorry to hear about the death of Keith.
Thinking of you during these difficult times. I pray that the love of God enfolds you during your journey through grief.

Keith was a friend and mentor during my engineering journeys through Williams Technologies and Caterpillar. I always enjoyed his leadership message and ability to laugh through many different situations. His craft beverage knowledge was always welcome too!
