Sam and Family,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. Your dad was certainly a man among men. He always had a handshake/hug and a smile for everyone he encountered. And of course, such a great mentor to the firemen. He's certainly left behind a wonderful legacy that every member of his family can be proud of.

Mr. Sam, Aaron, and family,
Mr Keels was one of the best men in Lake City and there will never be another like him.He was truly one of a kind. He always had a kind word to say or a funny joke to tell. He had a kindred comforting spirit about him. and I have never seen him without a smile on his face. He never changed. My mom often speaks of the kind words he said to her when my grandfather passed away and when her cousin whom she was very close to passed away. Not only is this such a great loss to his close friends and family but, to the community as well because, Mr Keels made you feel like family. He made an impact on every person he met and every life he touched. My heart goes out to you and I'll be praying for your family.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of grief. Mr. Keels will surely be missed by all. He was a pleasant man to be around and always had kind words to give you. He loved to make you laugh. I've known Mr. Keels every since my dad (DC McGee) joined the fire department. Now my son Brandon is a junior. Mr. Keels made a great impact on their lives. He is in Heaven now rejoicing. May God comfort all of you and know that one day we can see him again.

I was deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Keels. He was a friend and confident of many things to me. Keels always had the right word, gesture, hug and smile for the people he met, he was gracious in his personal affairs as well as his devotion to his community. He served the people with love and compassion, with dignity and respect for all. He did not make any distinction between rich or poor. Keels was a man for all men. Lower Florence County was his home, the place where he devoted his unending love, time and service for the betterment of all. Keels was a leader of men. I will miss his smile, his hug, his handshake, and his caring attitude. Thanks for the memories and service to all. Rest in peace my friend, rest in peace.
