He served in various ministry roles during his life and became an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God in Alabama, in 2018. He was further endorsed as a Corporate Chaplain with the National Office of the Assemblies of God. He loved working as a Chaplain to local businesses, praying for and supporting leaders and employees. He worked bi-vocationally during his life, serving in ministry and working as a logistics manager in warehousing. He had a deep love of flying and aviation, good coffee, and making disciples. He loved helping people grow in Christ. “Study to show thyself approved,” (2 Timothy 2:15) is his favorite verse as his passion was to see the body of Christ become fully developed believers through personal discipleship.

And, cherished by his grandmother-in-love, Doris Walters. He is also survived by many cousins, aunts, uncles, and a community full of friends. Keith enjoyed being a “favorite” uncle to fifteen nieces and nephews, Douglas Hudson, Gabrielle Hudson, Isaiah Hudson, Anna Hudson, Judson Clark, Aiden Clark, and the twins, Joshua and Andrew Clark. Also, Andrew, Abigail and Asher Russell; and Katie, Emily, Rachel and Sarah Russell. Keith’s desire in life was for everyone to know Jesus, and to grow in their relationship with the Lord.
