Anybody know the latest news?

I have not heard back from Keith for a few weeks now.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

I search his name + "obituary" about every other day. Nothing yet. He had stopped chemo and was on full hospice care, so I hate to say it but the odds of recovery are slim. But then again not everyone does obituaries. So it may have already happened and it just wasnt announced.
 
I intend to get at least one of the reels he gave me engraved in his memory, so I'd want to know the date. I'm sure it's a public record thing, I would just need to figure out where to search.

I just received a text from Lucas this morning. Keith passed away last night. May he rest in peace. Catch a big fish in the sky buddy and say hi to all of our ohana that preceded you. You will be missed buddy.

I barely knew Keith but I'm going to miss that guy. He was a great presence here.
I woke today and suddenly nothing happened.

Godspeed, in the next chapter of Life, Keith —-

A life well lived with compassion, courage, generosity, and one who taught us all.

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Keith showed us that you can live a life full of friends and family and fishing, even while enduring more constant pain than one can imagine.  Finally at peace and pain-free, he lives on as an inspiration for us all.

Heaven is lucky to get you. Bunch of angels with busted reels have been patiently awaiting your arrival my friend.
