My Heart holds you tightly in these days forward. I always looked forward to Keith picking up every night because it was always a challenge getting him to talk. Over the years, our friendship grew and the conversations always made me laugh and smile.  After I attended my first Nascar race, I think that's when Keith thought I was a pretty cool daycare Mom.
Love you all, 
May you find Peace in all of the memories you shared.
Ann

To Linda, Michael, Shelby, and all of Keiths family,
 
I know you do not know me, but I will be praying for all of you to find peace and healing in serenity in this difficult time.  Keith was a good man.  I had the pleasure of meeting him around 2 years ago at CCC, and we became acquainted quickly on account of our shared interests.  I talked racing with Keith almost every time I saw him.  His smile and his laugh were infectious, I couldn't help but be happy in his presence.
 
May this loss be eased by the memories you have and the knowledge that Keith impacted many people.  God bless you all.
 
With my deepest regards,
Jeff Kunkel

It was so sad to hear of the loss of Keith, Keith worked for us for years at Winona Bowl, we had many many good times.  I saw Keith here and there over the years and we always enjoyed talking about our years at Winona Bowl and all the friendships we created. Life can be so challenging sometimes and we never know what "The Big Guy" has in mind for us. I'm so glad you put your faith in his hands. We are unable to make it to the wake or funeral, but please know our prayers are with all of the family members. Rest in peace my friend!
 
Cindy and Chuck Westby

I knew Keith in his early twenties when I became friends with Jane and the entire Stackowitz family.  He had a great laugh and a twinkle in his eye so I never knew if he was serious or not when he would crack a joke.  He will be missed greatly, but not forgotten as long as he remains in our memories.

Linda, Shelby and Michael,
I am so sorry to hear of Keith's passing.  He was a great guy.  I will truly miss his visits to chat about cars and other mechanical things that we had a common interest in.  He was always fun to talk to, even though it seemed like he was always in a hurry to get going.  I wish I would have spent more time with him when I had the chance.  It is so easy to take others for granted and we realize this only after they are gone.  I will miss him but never forget him.  May you find comfort in knowing he is with the Lord and is in peace.
Please let us know if Erleen and I can do anything to help you during this difficult time.  We will be thinking of you and praying for you in the days ahead.
Al and Erleen Hartleip and family

Wow very sad; so young. Worked with Keith at Winona Bowl MANY years ago. Really a nice guy and sorry to have lost track of each other over the years. One of the good guys.
