Prayers to Mark, Kari, boys and family. I worked with Keith many years ago at Taffy’s. Keith, Mark and I became friends and Keith introduced me to Super Tramp music. I have been a fan since. Keith was an amazing friend and kind person. RIP friend.
Keith, the PFD and the City as a whole, are in your debt for improving the department and the services to the citizens of this City. You were an awesome firefighter, a better friend, and most importantly an even better family man.
You will be missed!
My heart goes out to you and your family. You all are in my prayers.
