Keith was a true friend to us, welcoming us into his home when we first moved to Ronan. Thom and Keith loved to go hunting together and always came back with stories.
Keith was a true character, and a true cowboy.
Rest In Peace Keith, we will miss you very much
Thom, Laura & family
To All,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Keith’s death. I was very fond of Keith and found him to be a warm, kind soul. I greatly appreciated that he always took the time to stop in to visit me when I was back in the valley and his open, friendly smile always brightened my day. I also appreciated what a character he was and enjoyed sharing laughs with him. I will truly miss him. Although work has prevented me from making it back to the valley for his services, my thoughts are with you all at this very sad time.
With kind thoughts and deep sympathy, Marla
Our sincere sympathy goes to the family at this time.
