Keith was an over the road trucker for most of his career and was a great handy man, jack of all trades and master of none. Keith had a zest for life and being around those that he loved. He was well known for a good time and bringing laughter wherever he went. He was a proud Finlander and in his words “You can tell a Fin, but you can’t tell me much”.
July 2017, Keith Married Natalie Brusso on the family farm. The farm is a place he dearly loved, especially spending time there with his granddaughter Aria, taking her on four-wheeler rides. He also enjoyed teaching his nieces and nephews how to shoot and even learning a few things from them too along the way.
