Keith has always being such an awesome friend to me from the day I’ve met him 2 years ago. I’ve never met a more loving,caring,thoughtful more fun, lover of storytelling than my buddy as I’ve always called him. I really am going to miss this guy and his love for life and also his dog. Keith has been nothing short of a brother to me ,even though we had our differences cause we’re both stubborn haha he never stayed mad with me. I’m going to miss everytime a game would come on and he wanted to watch he’ll come bug me wherever i was so i can hop on ESPN so he can follow every second of the game while he explained to me the plays and passes since i wasn’t a sports fan like him. …….. sigh…. Keith your death really hit me,it hit me really hard and I’ve cried numerous amounts of times, you never left worked without saying “bye sweetheart “and that”s what’s killing me is that i didn’t get to say bye. But am not going to be selfish because you were so awesome on earth and God needed you and he said come on home. So i rejoice for you and i will truly miss you because to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I’ll miss you buddy. Forever my friend. #GoEuless
Keith was such a wonderful man. He would always have a joke for me when I went to visit him at work. He was never short of words. I would try to have a joke for him whenever I saw him. I only got him on one joke that he couldn’t solve. Then I remember he tried to pull it on me a couple of months later. Of course I knew the answer and he just thought I was so smart. You will be truly miss Mr. Keith….Rest in Peace my friend.
