Keith spent the first 9 years of his life living in Wenatchee, Washington before his family moved to Fossil, Oregon, where he would spend the remainder of his childhood. As a young adult, Keith would move to Pendleton, Oregon and land himself a job at the Pendleton Woolen Mills. He would go on to work at the Woolen Mills for over 15 years.

In 1966, while living in Pendleton, Keith met his beloved wife, Diana Gail Hoover. They would marry later the following year in Washington and by 1976, they would welcome their daughter, Mindyn. In 1980, they decided to pick up the family and move west to the valley. After four years living in the valley, Keith decided he had enough of all the green and wanted to get back to the sage brush. By 1984, he and his family would settle in Hermiston, Oregon, where he would live for the remainder of his life.

After returning to Eastern Oregon, Keith began a career as a long-haul truck driver. He would continue working as a truck driver until his retirement.

Keith loved hunting, especially squirrel hunting and in his later years, he and Diana enjoyed four wheeling. Keith also loved wood working. He would spend hours in his wood shop building numerous things.

Keith is survived by his loving wife of nearly 60 years, his daughter, and brother.

He is preceded in death by both his parents, his brother and sister.
