A Life of Faith, Family, and Service

Keith was the proud co-owner and operator of Keith’s One Stop Exterminating, a successful business that reflected his hardworking and entrepreneurial spirit. However, his true legacy lies in the countless roles he fulfilled in the lives of those who knew him:

  • A loving husband, father, and grandfather (fondly known as Diddy) who cherished every moment with his family.
