I agree Tom. Keith took me for my first "fast run in the rough" 25 years ago when he was working with Skater on testing and customer orientation rides. I have always looked up to he and Barry for doing what they loved even though it never made $ence he was always the racer. Prayers and condolences for his family.

I am lost for words.....

This is extremely saddening to hear. Just last week Keith and crew made a very special day for my son and niece. They let them hold the trophy and take the picture with the team. Keith even wanted one taken on his phone.. This is a tough one. Our prayers goes out to there family.

God Speed Keith....
