Keith loved to draw, fish, cook and wear hats.  He collected action figures, not dolls, as he told Mandy many times.  He loved all animals, (reptiles included).  He loved his family and spending time with them.  He loved to talk to people about Jesus and helping people, which he did a lot. Everybody that knew him liked him and he will be missed by so many.
