He was involved in the Special Needs Boy Scouts, and participated in the SIRS day program and SPRED at St. Joseph Catholic Church. 

Keith was known to touch the hearts of anybody that met him.  He always had a smile on his face and a welcoming hug to anyone he met.  He enjoyed playing card games.  He always stayed busy cutting up magazines, drawing in notebooks, or looking out the windows.  He enjoyed sitting outside.  His favorite things were the color blue, strands of string, and Hot Wheel cars.  HE never said no to a car ride with a family member. 

Surviving are two sisters, Yvonne (Kevin) Mullen and Michelle (Rick) Lamkin, both of Jasper, IN, two nieces, Kristi (Doug) Meiring, Shelby (fiancé Braden) Mullen, a nephew, Tanner Lamkin, and two great nephews, Xavier and Grant Meiring.
