Keith was born July 5, 1948 in Waukon to Charles and Lilahann (Opheim) Kilpatrick. He graduated from Waukon High School in 1966, the year the school burned down (every kid’s dream!).

For several years, Keith worked as a machinist at John Deere in Waterloo. He moved to Ramona, CA, then to Orlando, FL. Keith lived in the Daytona Beach/Ocala, FL area for the last 25 years, retiring from Walmart eight years ago.

Keith is survived by his brother, Clark (Dr. Luann Arney) of Dorchester; and two sisters, Diane (Robert) Schulte of Waterford, WI and Christine (Lynn) Simonson of Wabasha, MN; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents.
