He enjoyed many things including spending time with family, friends, golfing, trips to Las Vegas (as he would say spending his kid’s inheritance) and farming on the family farm for the past “53” years. Keith particularly enjoyed spoiling all of his grandchildren every chance he got especially by giving them M&M’s.

Keith was known as a fighter which is a true testament to his strength throughout the last four years during his battle with cancer.

He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond; sister, Margaret Jo Gerdman; nephew, Daniel Gerdman; mother and father-in-law, Lester and Esther Moore; and sister-in-law, Sherry Moore.
