A lifelong farmer, Keith was especially proud of the Century Farm recognition the family received in August of 2012 at the Iowa State Fair. Keith and Jane also enjoyed spending winters in Lake Corpus Christi, Texas, which allowed him to fish year round. He also loved hunting, riding motorcycles, attending auctions and flea markets. Keith was a lifelong member of the United Church of Christ Congregational in Clarion, a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association and a member of the Wright County Gun Club.
Keith is survived by his wife, Jane of Clarion; children, Leland (Jane) Loux of Sac City, Kristine Burns of Temple, Texas, and Lynn (Linda) Loux of Belmond; grandchildren Adam (Nicole) Loux and their children Ethan and Erik of Indianola, Michael (Stephanie) Loux and their children Layla and Mason of Olathe, Kansas, Jason (Jackie) Wessels and their children Madison and Tristan of Belmond, and Josh (Mandy) Wessels and their children Abram and Azure of Belmond.
