Keith, You had the driest sense of humor of anyone I’ve ever met. Sometimes I’d be driving home from working with you and THEN it’d hit me. Rest in peace, my friend.

Timothy Tyler writes,

I wish you knew how much you were really loved. I am saddened beyond belief and regret that I didn’t reach out more often. It was maybe a full year since we last talked but every conversation we ever had was full of wicked one-liners and always ended with, “I love you brother.” Rest In Peace and see you someday on the other side. Love Tim
