Keith enjoyed his date night with his wife, Barbara. They would go to Cracker Barrels.  Sometimes they would go to Wendy drive thru off the highway and park in the parking lot and watch the headlights on the freeway and talk. Keith enjoyed family movie night and holidays with family. He would go to Jackson to visit his other mother, "Big Flo". He enjoyed going to Sandra and Cathy's house for the holidays. Keith had joy being with his family. In the summer, he enjoyed going out and getting ice cream with his family.

Keith also enjoyed going to car shows and owned a vintage car. He also collected replicas of vintage cars.  He loved his crime T.V. shows.

His church family will miss his smile and his realness. Keith departed life on this side on March 19, 2021 at the age of 68, and entered into everlasting life after he victoriously won his battle against cancer. His favorite saying was "you got to go thru to get thru."

There will be no service per Keith's request.
