Keith was always full of life and took things as they came. He had a love for all sports, but was especially a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, Iowa Hawkeyes and Chicago Cubs. He enjoyed playing video games and watching Law & Order SVU. Keith was the football manager while in high school which he enjoyed very much. He was able to form a special bond with many of his classmates and team members. Those who knew Keith will always remember him for being a "ladies man".

Keith also enjoyed the time he was able to spend with his family as well as their two St. Bernards, Otto and Bear. As one of Keith's final request, his brain was donated to Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia in the hope of furthering research and someday finding a cure for Lesch-Nyhan's.
