I met Keith when I was 19 years old when him and my mom got together. I remember the first time I ever heard him refer to me as his stepdaughter. Words cannot begin to describe the love and respect I have for this man. He loved my mother dearly and for that alone I would always be grateful. But he also loved my children so much, and was the absolute best pawpaw ever to them. I consider myself to be incredibly lucky that I got to have Keith as my bonus dad. He was so kind, caring, generous, and so funny. I remember when I was pregnant with my son Maverick and I dyed my hair pink, my mom was freaking out, and Keith would tell her to leave me alone and that it’s just hair and I’m grown and can do what I want. He would always lend an ear and let me vent whenever I was upset, mad, or frustrated and then tell me it was going to be okay.
I have a lot of stories that I could share about him. I have many fond memories when it comes to Keith. I am deeply saddened by this loss, I loved him dearly, and I will miss him so much.
