Keith was hired by Holmes Mechanical, Inc. in 2005 and began working on industrial and commercial projects. He received his journeyman plumber license in 2006, and his medical gas certification 2 years later. As a field superintendent, Keith rarely missed work and remained dedicated to his job throughout his cancer treatment.
Keith was introduced to his soulmate, Cheri, by mutual friends in 2004 and they wed in Mexico in 2011.
Keith was predeceased by his father Brian, stepmom Gerrie, and his mother Nancy. He is survived by his wife Cheri, brother Scott, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws Larry and Margaret Bock and many dear lifelong friends.
