Keith Alan Krumrey Age 63, passed away suddenly on December 16, 2020. Keith was born in Mesa, Arizona on October 14, 1957 to Robert and Valerie (Leese) Krumrey. He enjoyed golfing. Even though his kids would sometimes outshoot him, he would always say “watch the club hit the ball.” He loved reading. Clive Cussler was one of his favorites, which made gift buying very easy. He enjoyed old movies and shows. If an old song was on, and you were in the room with him, you were harmonizing with him. He loved to laugh and to make other people laugh. He loved people. He always knew how to make someone feel special, even if it was someone in line at the grocery store. Everyone that knew him knows he could strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere, anytime. He always left an impression; good, bad or indifferent. “I’m responsible only for what I say, not what you understand.” -John Wayne
