I remember Keith and his brother Ron working in the USCGR unit in Cleveland several years ago. My brother Mike Kearney was also part of that unit. We shared good times at work and have fond memories. Best wishes to the family .

Beautiful video! I served with Keith & YNCM Ron @ CGRU Cleveland. We had a great unit. My condolences to his wife and family. CWO (ret) Kathleen P. Edley
I was very sorry to hear of Keith's passing. He was a fine man, very kind and friendly. We worked together for many years and got together for a round of golf whenever we could. I really enjoyed being around Keith. He will be missed.

So many good memories from our work together, golf outings, Santee golf trips, and others. Keith was a caring friend and he will be missed by many. On one of our Santee trips, I woke up one day with a shoulder that would not work properly. Keith insisted that he skip that day's golf too so I wouldn't be by myself all day. He drove us to Charleston & we had a great day. Just one example of who Keith was.
I am so very sorry for you loss. He was a great man.
I remember the first time I met Keith. I was walking up Veranda with my dog, Riley. Coming toward us was a big guy and his big dog, a chocolate lab. We introduced ourselves and met Keith and Reese. Memorable day! Deb was not here yet, still working, I think. Your family was a great addition to the neighborhood and we miss you!
Webster describes a beacon as “a source of light or inspiration”; “a signal for guidance.”
When I first met Keith, the first word that came to mind was, humility. There was something about the way he carried himself, although confident, I could tell he was a humble man. Gary and I liked him immediately.
Over the years, we got to know Deb and Keith and spent time traveling and socializing with them. It was during one of our early trips together that I started calling him “the beacon”. Keith was tall, very tall. No matter where we were, he could be seen in the midst of a crowd, even from a distance.
In the days since losing our dear friend, my mind keeps going back to the word BEACON and the more I think about Keith, the more appropriate that word seems to perfectly describe him.
Keith stood head and shoulders above many, not just in stature, but in his presence. Wherever we went as a group, Keith was our leader. If a repair was needed, we called Keith. If we had a question about a safety issue, we called Keith. Keith always had a solution. I think all of us just felt safe when Keith was around.
Keith DID stand head and shoulders above many, in his integrity, his loyalty, his friendship, his service to mankind and family and in his generous spirit.
Our Beacon was a shining light to all of us who knew him. Although his light is no longer shining here on earth, his spirit will always be a beacon in our hearts and the lives he leaves behind. Rest In Peace, sweet man. Lexie
In a person’s lifetime, there will probably only be a handful of friends who you can consider your very closest. Keith was one of mine. I will miss him. Hilton Head will never be the same. Gary Russell
