Keith was employed in Washington, D.C. as a Maintenance Engineer for two separate apartment complexes. Keith was a member of Pine Street Baptist Church, he loved to sing and give God his praise. With his baritone voice, you could hear him singing often while sitting on his porch and also along with any song that was being played. He would sing a song called "Cool Inside" to his grandchildren and he would have them chime in with him as he sung. Keith often talked about his faith in God. He believed as long as you kept your faith in God you would survive. He let his children and grandchildren know they could talk to him about anything. He made them feel welcome and they enjoyed his company. Keith helped them with their shyness and encouraged them to be themselves, to be bold, and to love who they are. Keith, was a gentle giant with a BIG HEART and when he entered the room he would bring the light of joy with him by singing, dancing, and telling jokes. His main thing was to keep people happy. He always thought of others before himself. Keith was an avid lover of dogs and sports especially The Washington (Redskins) Football Team. After moving to Covington, he worked several jobs until retiring due to health issues. He was a gardener and loved to help others with painting, light construction, and lawn care.
