I am so incredibly saddened to learn of Keith’s passing.  He’s been taking my step and bodypump classes for years at OneLife.  He was quite remarkable and is missed by all his fellow gym friends.    When my husband passed away a few years ago Keith helped me with my taxes.  I’m forever grateful for having the opportunity to have called him a friend.  

We’ve all been wondering where he’s been- I’ll miss seeing his smiling face and hearing his funny stories and words of wisdom.  May he rest in peace.  

A long time ago Keith and my wife worked together in San Diego. That's how our family and the Joneses became friends. 6 kids later, we had parties and camping trips.  Wonderful times. Keith was always ambitious and forward looking, so it was inevitable that they'd be moving upward and onward. 

Before they moved, Keith joined "the guys" on 2-3 mostly drinking trips to San Felipe. (We drive sober at least.)

Keith was the novice on these trips. The 1st trip we arrived at about noon and made our only stop--the liquor store 🤣

We (3 of us) bought 2 cases of beer, which Keith went along with but not silently protesting that why so much?!

We,  at this is embarrassing, had to return to the liquor store around 7 THAT NIGHT.  We drank stupid amounts of beer that long weekend.  I guess that's obvious lol. 

On a  second trip, there were 4 of us.  The 4th was a good friend (Bill) who happened to be a wrestler and football lineman on our HS football team. He wasn't still active in those, but he was a strong dude. My friend Glenn started taking about arm wrestling, saying he knew how to lock his wrist and couldn't be beat. So Keith promptly put him down in about 3 seconds.

Then the wrestler wanted to try Keith, but Bill was left handed. Keith said let's try.  5 seconds and Keith put Bill down.  I laughed so hard. 

Those who knew Keith know he prided himself on staying in shape. He wasn't looking to look buff, but he had tons of strength. It was all part of his very disciplined life style. 

One more--Glenn and I convinced Keith to join us at the World Series of Poker, which we play in every year. Keith didn't participate in that, but he joined us for 2-3 days (maybe because I kept bugging him haha). 

We all played in a $125 small tournament at the MGM. Keith hadn't played except with his boys, etc.  Anyway, he took 3rd place for about $1,000. Amazing. 

He greatest accomplishment, of course, is that he got the family he wanted. Lots of kids, lots and lots of grandkids, and an awesome wife! Karen, you were the perfect match for Keith.  Everyone knows that. 

It's such a sad loss. Lynn and I send our love to all of you. Glenn does too.
