It was my honor to have worked with Keith on the Secretary of State's Protective Detail and at Embassy Lima. Keith was a true professional and the definition of a good man. He served his nation and he will be missed.

I worked with Keith a couple times at Diplomatic Security Headquarters in the International Programs Directorate, & I supported him while he was in Pakistan by procuring & sending pallets of medical supplies.

In addition to having a great sense of humor, he had a real sweet tooth and treated his work colleagues with baked goods from the Amish bakery.

I'm so glad I saw him on King Street in Alexandria in the fall 2024. Rest in Peace Keith. You will be missed for your kindness. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I never met Keith but from all that I have read from his colleagues in this guest book confirms that he was very respected and admired. Sending my condolences. RIP

I am saddened to hear of Keith's passing and send my condolences to his friends and family. I had the opportunity to work with Keith in IP and appreciated his guidance, wit, humor and generosity. May he RIP.

I worked with Keith in Diplomatic Security Headquarters. He was kind and decent man with a great sense of humor, and was diligent, hardworking and loyal. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Keith was a phenomenal agent and person with a one of kind smile and personality. Thoughts and prayers are with you my friend.

Keith worked with me on the Secretary of State´s Detail. He was incredibly reliable and took his job very seriously. He could be placed in any serious situation and we knew he´d get the job done. He was humble and quietly very funny. He´ll be missed by so many DS agents! Rest in Peace Keith!

My condolences to Keith's loved ones. Keith had an amazing career with DS and was not timid about taking on the hard assignments. He was just a good colleague and good man. Again, so sorry for your loss. God's speed.

Dear Family and Friends of Keith - I had the good fortune to work with Keith for a year when I was assigned to an office at DS Headquarters. He was an incredibly hard worker, talented problem-solver, and had computer memory. Along with that he had a quiet sense of humor that broke up the most tense moments. I was awed by his positivity, and then came the quiet sarcasm... I will cherish those memories. Safe travels and Godspeed.

I have good memories of Keith. He and I came into the service as a result of the Inman study after the Beirute bombings in the early 1980s. He projected himself in a positively way and was an example to follow. My condolences to the family. He was taken from us way too early.
