Obituary: Keith David Allred

Keith David Allred 6/17/1953~6/21/2005 Our beloved husband, father, son, brother, truest friend, and greatest example has left us in the care of his guidance and wisdom to follow the path leading to God's love. Keith lived a life worthy of aspiration by all; he was the embodiment of Christ-like love, and a poet of life. It was a joy simply to have known him, for in his eyes you could see and feel his love. He held a deep and special love, not only for his children, but for all children. Keith understood their value, and through them he revealed his heart to his fellow man. He could captivate a room full of "Littles" with his stories; he was known for making kids erupt with laughter at his telling of "The Pee Little Thrigs." He also used his well-crafted humor to convey his love of the Gospel to the hearts of young and old alike. Keith's greatest desire in life was to serve the Lord, and he did so with joy and love. His greatest achievement was his family unity, stability, and goodness that will stand among the greatest examples of what is possible through loving and living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. His fine example shines in every aspect of his life, his legacy, his family, and his home. Keith is survived by the loves of his life, Kathy and Bec, his 12 children, six grandchildren, his mother Elsie, his brothers and sisters, and every person who ever knew and therefore surely loved him. Keith joins his dear "Poppa" who preceded him in death four months ago.
