On September 6, 2026, our dear friend Keith suffered the unimaginable loss of his daughter, Kenya.

Kenya was a beautiful young woman, a beloved daughter, a friend to many, and most importantly, a mother. She was deeply loved by her family and everyone whose life she touched.

Keith is a cherished member of our Knoxville dance community, and during this devastating time, we want to come together to support him and his family in any way we can.

We are trying to raise a minimum of $10,000 to help relieve some of the financial burden that comes with such a sudden and tragic loss.

These funds will help Keith and his family with funeral and memorial expenses, time away from work, or family needs, and support for Kenya’s daughter as they navigate the difficult days ahead.

No parent should ever have to bury a child. While we cannot take away Keith’s pain, we can surround him and his family with love, support, and help during a time when they need their community most.

If you know Keith through dance, friendship, work, or simply through our community, please consider donating. Any amount will help. If you are unable to give financially, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much.

All funds raised through this GoFundMe will go directly to Keith as the beneficiary.

Keith, we love you, and our dance community is standing beside you.

In loving memory of Kenya. ️❤️
