I met Keith 14 years ago when I started seeing his brother John. Keith had a way of telling a story that made me laugh even when I knew it wasn’t true. Keith always had a smile on his face. He led a interesting life. With his job at Moore’s painting he had to go out of town often with the other painter’s. He met quite by accident Faith Hill. She was meeting her husband Tim McGraw at a restaurant in Virginia. Keith’s crew were getting ready to leave when one of the guys saw Faith looking for a empty table. The guys asked her if she wanted to sit down as they were ready to leave. She sat and chatted a bit with them. Another time they were painting at the beach. Keith went into a small sports bar as he could not sleep. A man came in and sat beside him. That man started a conversation with him.. The man was Jimmy Buffett. Keith came to my house for Thanksgiving and Christmas after his sister Margie passed away. He enjoyed his meals and always had a few to go dishes to take for another time. Keith will be missed but we know he is with his God and at peace.
Jeannie
Rest in Peace Kebow. ♥️
I will always have my memories of me, You, and Wanda. You used to love to get on her nerves on purpose and we would always laugh.
