Keith was a proud Trucker but not just any kind of Trucker, he was an Over the Road trucker and always wanted to make sure people knew that. Keith loved his Family, his cats Tom and Tiger, and his Peterbilt Semi Truck. He would often spend days tinkering with his beloved truck, but still found time for all his friends. Keith was a jokester; he would often play pranks and poke fun at other family members, but it was always done in good fun. Keith had a way with animals and always enjoyed their presence. He had a love unmatched for his two cats, Tom and Tiger. On the rare occasions Keith took time for himself, he loved to watch old westerns and would indulge his sweet tooth a bit, some of his favorites were Frozen Tootsie Rolls and Almond Joys.

Keith is preceded in death by his father Sonny; both his Maternal and Paternal Grandparents; and his good friend, George.
He traveled the roads
In years gone past
A life he chose and
Hoped it would last
Driving all Night
From state to state
Trying to get home
And arriving so late
He parked his truck now
His engine has stopped
And those who love him
Their hearts have dropped
He traveled the country
With a Smile of great pride
Now he drives the streets of Heaven
On the trucker's last ride
May God Ride With You
10-4 Good Buddy
Funeral Service will be at Full Gospel Church in Southwest City, Missouri. Services are under the care of Worley-Luginbuel Grove, Oklahoma.
