Thanks Stacey for the kind words about Keith. Your dad and I played many basketball games with Keith, with the bumps and bruises to prove it. Keith was such a kind man who would do anything for you. He was very competitive when it came to sports. Those who knew him miss him alot!

A beautiful article for a beautiful life, thanks Stacey. Keiths desire to run is an excellent metaphor for the way he approached life. Who knows how many lives will continue to be inspired to run and not to give up on lifes battles because of his example. We love him and will miss him

Beautiful story about a man who inspired all he met, loved his family, enjoyed life and served the Lord with all his heart. I miss his smile and the twinkle in his eye. What a joy it was to know him and love him.

Thank you for that great article. I have been lucky enough to have been Keith's neighbor for 28 years and I miss his smile and gentle touch everyday. Good luck on your training.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and memories of Keith. As May 24th approaches, he is on the minds and in the hearts of everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. Like his family, we will never stop missing him. The legacy he left behind will continue to bless many generations.

Keith and Doreen were our high school sweethearts. They were friends to everyone and admired by all. Keith's friendly smile and intensity in sports will be long remembered. They are an amazing eternal couple!

Inspiring article. Doreen was right, grab a tissue! I am sure that Keith will be watching this wonderful event from heaven.

Doreen and Keith babysat my kids for years! They were and still are an inspiration to us all! We miss you Keith!

Keith and Doreen have been a positive inspiration to me and my family. We would have ALL participated in the run, if we were still in Wyoming. We are sure Keith is still running for the Lord with his whole heart and soul! He'll never stop helping and serving others. Since is plenty to do, both here and there...I'm sure his eternal shoes are getting a healthy workout! We'll just try to keep up with him and run the best we can while we can!

Never a better friend existed. When he focused on you, you could always feel the love and concern. He continues to influence our lives and our children love sharing old stories about Keith and his family.
What an appropriate event to honor his life.

Susie R.

Keith and Doreen's children have followed in the footsteps of their amazing parents. It is great to see them, not only running, but serving in a way they could only have learned from their parents. The legacy lives on.

Janet Maez

Words can't express the heart felt feelings I have for Doreen and Keith. They share and give of themselves always. Thank goodness we have the gospel of Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Keith is preparing the way for Doreen and that they will be together eternally! Stacey your words told the world of Keith eloquently. Thank you

Paula Birch

Thanks for the great article that is so true. Keith and Doreen have been part of our family for as long as I can remember in G.R.--raised kids together, worked in church together, celebrated and cried together. We miss Keith "our mentor and friend" and still adore Doreen and family. What great examples for all who know them.

V Glazner

What an awesome article. He was the greatest Bishop ever. I love Keith and Doreen and their family. We moved from Green River 20 years ago, but the memories we have of them will be with us forever. He influenced and touched many lives.

Steve & Connie Hunter

We didn't know all this great stuff about Keith. We just met him 1 year before his death. We worked in the Addiction Recovery program with him and Doreen. We just knew him to be a humble man and great example for good. He loved the people in the Pornography group and wanted to help them. Never ever being judgemental. A wonderful person to be around. He is so much missed!
