Keith was preceded in death by his father, Finley Allen.
Keith was known for his ability to fix just about anything with or without an engine, his pride in his daughter, his love for his family and friends, his quick humor and providing nearly everyone he knew with at least one nickname- the more it ruffled their feathers, the better. He loved fishing, four-wheeling, motorsports, boating, camping, gardening, Doberman Pinschers, and he was almost always listening to rock music on the stereo. He had a passion for rock music, but especially Metallica.
Keith attended Northridge High School and was employed at Navistar, Forest River, and put in over 10 years at Monaco Coach.
