Member Contributer Switchblade Posted April 23, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 23, 2012 Found this on the net, I'll post this for him. I know he will appreciate it. Talk to him a couple times at TMAC,,,GREAT GUY !!!!!!! I'm sorry friends that I can't be with you to celebrate today If you're all gathered round and reading this, I've probably passed away but if I were there I'd tell you not to shed a tear or frown I'd tell you just to simply say, another Biker has gone down. If I were there I'd tell you that I had a wonderful life, That I loved my kids and family and especially my wife. I loved all my riding buddies and all my life-long friends I'd raise a toast to all of you, "May your party never end." If I were there I'd tell you how I loved the the small blue highways How I loved the curving mountain roads, loved to ride the back-road byways. And how I loved it "in the wind", loved it when that engine rumbled, and the biker friends who rode with me and would help me when I stumbled. You are amongst my dearest friends, brothers and sisters of the road, We've traveled many miles together, shared many heavy loads. If I could be there, we'd laugh and share the memories from our past, and this gathering would be just one more tale, another story, not our last. But today I can't be with you, except in your hearts and memory stores So you'll have to laugh, lift a glass to me, then let your engines roar. Please smile and do not shed a tear, wipe away that silly frown. I'm off upon that final ride, another Biker who has gone down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I met Kieth at Myers Ducati shop in Asheville NC after Tmac several years ago,we talked a good bit about how tmac and what it meant to him.He loved the WNC mountains motorcycles and life in general,back then he had a Ducati monster and was enjoying it said he could it ride faster then his old VFR. Never got to ride with him,and that's to bad. He left us why to soon,condolence's to his family and friends.He will be missed.

Member Contributer wrestler Posted April 24, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2012 His passing reminds us to drink the elixir of each other's kindness. We pass each other without regard for the special moment which is there. May the angels take him to paradise, the new and eternal Jerusalem.

Lee 2002 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 What about a fairly somber (before the drinking) group photo of everyone with some of the bikes and a placard stating how Keith was remembered and missed. It could then be developed and mailed to his family. Like most of us, his wife tolerated his attending but never met any/most of us. Like most spouses, she probably never fully understood the draw or his passion. I think she would appreciate knowing that there were people on the other end of the ride who appreciated his company and truly miss him. Just an idea.

Actually his wife and daughter came up with him for the Cross Raising event back in 04. They were both great and seemed to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
