My heart goes out to Keith's family for the loss, he will truly be missed by a lot of people. I know how much he meant to a lot of you, because he touched everyone the same way. There are not many men that like this one. He had a way about people, it was as though he could look deep into their soul and understood them right away. My heartfelt sympathy to you and his family at this sad time. May all your wonderful memories comfort you during this heartbreaking time. Grace

We remember Keith as a warm authentic friend and human being, and were shocked that such a vibrant person has left us all at a time that seems way too early. We remember visits with his boys at Silver Lake, a full-on commitment to community activities, and an intelligent, kind, and loving spirit. To his grieving family: Your loss is all of ours. We will miss you, Keith... Craig & Donna Murphy
