Keith attended Restoration Park Church, he loved the outdoors and hunting & fishing, you would always find him working on that next vehicle, riding 4-wheelers and motorcycles.
Keith always had a “story” to tell and was a reliable friend and quick to help many. He lived life to the fullest and never left the house without that hug, “Love you, see you later” and “Okay, I’ll be careful.”
He also enjoyed spending time with each and every one of you, especially his brothers and all his cousins, he was a big kid himself. He had such a big, bright, infectious smile that lit every room he entered. We will never forget his goofy expressions and all his sunglasses.
He is survived by both parents, brothers Evan Schmidt (Mikayla Padgitt), Tipp City and Chase Schmidt, Huber Heights; Aunts & Uncles, Charlotte (Evans) & Mike Brandenburg, St. Paris; Patricia (Evans) & David Snavely, New Carlisle; Stephanie Sanders, Kennebunk, Maine; Vanessa (Sanders) & Robin Golgert, Central City, Nebraska; grandmother Susan (Rinehart) Sanders, Hagerstown, IN/New Carlisle, OH; several cousins and other family , as well as many many friends and way to many extra moms for any one young man to handle. Keith was everyone’s son.
He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Charles “Buckwheat” and Glenda (Morrow) Evans, Maternal grandfather Marcel “Bud” Sanders, and uncle Don Tebbits.
