I am so sad about this. I received my records from the VA just today and was going through some things and saw Keith's name and wanted to do a search to see if I could find him. He was my first supervisor when I went in to the Air Force and was stationed at Travis AFB. We hung out together, golfed together, and became friends. When I got back from Desert Storm to find my wife cheating on me I left the AF but wished I had stayed in contact with Keith. He was such a great guy and so sorry to learn of this. This makes me so sad I didn't try and find him sooner. I hope his family is well and he will always be in my thoughts. My thoughts and prayers go out to Sharon Gesser and the entire family. So sad.

I will always admire Keiths dedication to his family and positive outlook. I dont believe Ive ever seen him greet anyone with anything less than a smile and a warm word. Hes always been a good and cheerful friend, and enjoyed life with his family and friends. His favorite times to talk about were when he was surrounded by his loved ones, and he seemed never to miss an opportunity to spend time with them. To his family, I know you will miss him dearly. Rest assured that youre not alone in that. We are all better for having known Keith, and will hold you in our thoughts and prayers.

Keith and I started working with TCI Beaumont in 1994. Over that period of time I have come to enjoy not only his but his familys friendship on and off the clock. He would not allow you to have a bad day if you ever had him in your presence.I enjoyed working with him over our 17 years together, and he is sorely missed by me and those who were closest to him. Our bond went beyond us both serving in the military and being Desert Storm vets and is one of the few people on this earth Ive ever considered a friend. Rest in peace dear friend until we meet again.

I have worked with Keith for almost 20 years. He was always happy, which caused others around him to be happy also. I have lost a friend that I could always count on. To Keiths loved ones, my prayers are with you. It is said, that time heals all wounds, but you will never forget the love you shared with Keith. I miss him now and always will.

I pray that God will draw you close to him and comfort you in the days to come. My last memory of Keith was at the family reunion at Royleys a couple of years ago. I appreciated so much the effort you both made to come in to be with us. He and I chatted on FB once when I thought it was you . He was upbeat, even in the face of all that he was enduring. No doubt you were a tower of strength to him as well. God bless you and your family and your Lemaire Family stands ready to support you in any way that you desire. Love, Aunt Margaret

Losing your soul mate and friend is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. The memories you all made will always be with you, the tears that you have shed will be with you for a while. One night you will feel a puff of wind and Keith will come to you in a shadow and tell you that hes ok and you have to move on and hell always be with you..It was told to me that way and when Merlin shadow came it was so warm and i knew that he will always be with me and i would be ok.Love YouAunt Laurance

Keith was a smiling optimist. In all the years I worked with Keith and the times my husband and I fished with him, he was always smiling and up beat. Even during his illness, he was able to put a smile on his face and when he came into the office would discourage anyone worrying about him, reassuring us that everything would be okay. My heart goes out to his entire family. Keith will be thought of often and missed dearly.

Keith was not only an employee, but a good firend. My family and I will cherish the memories of Keith, spending time at the beach fishing. He was central to addicting my son to salt water fishing, as he let Aaron land a 40lb bull red on his rod, thats all it took. I am comforted knowing that if there is a fishing hole in Heaven, Keith will be doing his to fish it dry.We love you and will miss you Keith, George

To my dearest sister and her family, you have endeared a tremendous lost. A husband, a father , a grandfather, a brother n law and uncle to many neices and nephews, he will be missed greatly. You are always in my prayers and thoughts. Keep your faith, for it is said in Matthew 54 quot Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. quot and HE shall comfort you with all HIS graces, as HE will comfort us all as well.

Keith was the sweetest boy and my favorite nephew. Keith was the reason that I always wanted to have a son. He had a smile for everyone. I just wish that I could have known him better as a man. I have always loved him dearly.His Aunt Mona

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of Keiths family. I am sadden by the news of his passing. He will be dearly missed. I have known Keith for 10 years and can not recall anytime I did not see a shining smile on his face Keith, to me was the type of person that made you open up. I had not lived in Lousiana for over 15 yrs when I met him through our business dealings at TWC. My discussions with Keith reminded me of my youth, the days of crawfish boils, fish off the coast and most of all just the friendly nature of my home town in South Lousiana. Funny a Texas guy could do that. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know nothing I could say would ever soften your pain. I simply wanted you to know my view of a wonderful man and friend. Keith will be missed
