I had the honor and pleasure of working with Keith for well over 15 years. As I battled breast cancer Keith and his wife Barb were a strength and support. I celebrate who they were as a couple and will continue to pray for Barb as she learns to live with eternal memories of love and Spirit. Sorry I didn't know sooner. Much love and honor to know both of you. My prayers of condolence and comfort are lifted now and forever. Love, kim, Pittsburgh, PA River View Agency

Dear Brenda, I was so sorry to hear about Keith, and did not know about his passing until today. You were so good to take care of him during his multiple medical problems and your love for him was very plain to see.Now God is watching over him and he no longer is confined in a sick body...he is rejoicing and waiting for all those he loved and were touched by his wonderful personality. You are in my prayers and I pray that God will give you strength and hope in the days ahead.

I Remember Keith as our Football manager at Barboursville High. I played there from 67-70 and graduated with Keith. Being the manager is a very difficult job...and Keith did it with a smile and just loved being around the team. Keith was a gentleman in school and was respected by all. Please accept my condolences. I will pray for your family at this time of sorrow. Rev. Dale Adkins Troy Ohio

Brenda: I was so sorry to hear of your loss. But I know heaven has a new Angel up there. I never met you but I heard so much about you from Keith. He loves you so and I hope that fact will bring you the greatest comfort. I met Keith through my husband Jimmy. Keith was their insurance Agent for many years. I know he has told you of the Gravely family. He purposely made their house the last stop. They lived in Guyandotte and there was always something going on at their house or the neighbors. It was always a show. Keith loved it, thought it was hilarious. I of course I met Keith after Jimmy and I married and the shows had settled. We would see Keith at the store, etc. He would just laugh and talk about those times. He was so impressed with the fact that my husband had married and became a pretty good adult. In his younger days he drank and was a part of the shows usually. My husband and both came to love Keith. It was a joy to run into him. He truly enjoyed life and always had a smile. Do the best you can Sweetie. My heart goes out to you.

My heart goes out to you and yours in this time of loss. Keith and I had known each other since elementary school, but became good friends in college. He was one classmate I was really looking to reconnect with during our reunion in June. I could kick myself for letting this time go by. My thoughts and prayers are with Keith's loved ones.

Dear Brenda, I am so sorry to hear about Keith. He has always been such a sweet person. I know that he is better off now and not suffering any more. I have to tell you that on Sunday, I told Clem that I had this awful feeling that something was going to happen that day. All my boys were traveling that day and I was so nervous till they all checked in with me when they got to their destination. Apparently, the strange feeling had to do with Keith. Please let me know if I can do anything for you during this time. You are in my thoughts. May he rest in peace. Love, Brenda Long

Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Keith as a happy and funny guy. Joan and I were talking about the times he would come and watch the girls basketball games. He always had a way of making you laugh. I will not be able to attend Keith's Celebration of Life because I have to take my mom back to the Cleveland Clinic for a post op appointment. Please know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love ya, June
