Keith was a proud Texan and an avid Dallas Cowboy fan. He also loved the University of Florida Gators and enjoyed supporting the Baylor Bears, along with his sister, Valerie, brother-in-law, Mark and nephews, Taylor, and Matt Bergstrom.

Keith’s friends are too numerous to count. His longest friendships were with Keith Storms and Brian Young, whom he met at Hoover Jr. High. Keith was on the golf team at Melbourne High School under the tutelage of Coach Gary Shiffrin, “Coach Shiff”. He loved to play golf and was happy to play with young and old alike. Keith spent countless hours playing golf at Suntree Country Club with Mark Figura, Dave Loman, Pete Peppy, Michael Schur, Scooter Webster and Brian Young. Keith was the “leader of the pack” and planned numerous golf trips with his buddies.

Keith began working in construction with Charlie Burklew. He decided to study for his General Contractors license and went to work with Holiday Builders in 1992. In 2005 he started his own company, KAG Construction where Jake Vogel was instrumental in helping him build the business. Keith recently retired from Gibraltar Builders.
