Here's a collection of memories from Keith's friends and family ...

...nothing beats the time when we were kids (9yrs old ish) I broke his thumb when we were riding bikes. As I remember it like yesterday, he stopped short to do a "skid" and I bumped into him from behind. Long story short I was crying hysterical for hours as we all went to the hospital because I hurt my best friend. The kicker was he wasnt crying he was trying to console me and let me know that it wasn't a big deal.
- Brian A., Keith's lifelong friend

I was one of Keith's roommates in Buffalo before he left in our junior year I have never met someone who seemed to love life and who had more energy and charisma than Keith. He will be missed very much.
With love,

Keith is a GREAT young man. I think the world of him. My thoughts go back to the times we hung out together. Getting him into Reed's, going skiing, etc. I am having trouble expressing myself.......I write this with an extremely heavy heart.
Sincerely,

I am so sorry to hear about Keith, for years he was the brother I always wished I had had. He was such a good person and as I sit here trying to write this I find that words just don't cover the loss. There was a point in my life where your family took me as one of their own when my family was falling apart, I can never repay them for that and Keith was a big part of that.

If Keith was in an unbearably painful physical illness others might more easily understand his suicide, but most people can't relate to unbearable emotional pain, emotional pain so great that death is preferable.
I grieve for all of you who tried so hard to help him. His suffering is over.
Love,
Joe

Keith was 27 years old or shall I say 27 years young. Keith was a geologist, son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, grandson, and friend. He had a kind soul and touched many lives in his very short life. He will be missed every day by all who were blessed to have had him in our lives.
Love,
Julie

You truly honored Keith's memory through your commitment to helping others and raising awareness of the challenges faced by those suffering with depression, bipolar disease, and other mental illnesses.
Love,
Marian and Ken
