Keith was a truck driver for Myers Well Service and had retired. He loved photography, and people often remarked that he had a great eye. He enjoyed spending time on his boat with his dog, Sammie, and taking photos of waterfowl, flowers, trees and leaves when they turned colors. He is survived by his loving wife of eight years, Lori Brouse Hawker, whom he married on Sept. 20, 2014; daughter, Heather (boyfriend, Neil); son-in-law, Scott; stepchildren, Kristie (husband, Pat) and Michael; grandchildren, Ryan, Kaylee, Kendall, Kyle and Evan; step-grandchildren, Lauren (husband, Fred), Brooklyn and Zoe; brother, Bruce (wife, Joyce); nephew, Ken; niece, Audrey; his great friends, Frank Lee and Larry Douglas; and his wonderful neighbors, Harry and Shirley. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Jennifer. A memorial service for Keith will be held at a later date. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to JAMES C. STUMP FUNERAL HOME INC., 580 Circle Drive, Rostraver Township, 724-929-7934, www.jamesstumpfuneralhome.com. The family would also like to thank the ICU staff at AHN Jefferson Hospital for their supportive and compassionate care.
