It's with extreme sadness that we share the news of Keith Rood's passing. It was sudden and shocking; he had just turned 42 on June 16. Keith leaves behind a wife and two small children. He was a huge NASCAR fan and regularly spent time waving flags down on the racetrack as cars sped by at 200 mph.

As his young family struggles to come to terms with the loss of this wonderful human, we ask for any donations to help with the costs of his funeral and preparations. Please leave your comments and memories of Keith in the guestbook; it will certainly help his widow and children to see how much he was truly loved and adored by everyone who knew him.

If you have any funny stories or memories with Keith, please share. In this time of grief and sorrow, it's nice to know he touched so many lives.
