Keith was a good-natured man that enjoyed attention from staff and peers, but was happy to hang out and just be.
Keith’s happy place was outside, especially during summer months, sitting on a lawn chair in the sun. Staff can remember Keith loving time spent being paddled in a canoe out on the lake. He especially loved to stretch out, showing his strength and flexibility with various “yoga poses”. Though he could not communicate with words, you always knew by his facial expressions or body language, what Keith was saying. He loved to listen to music and audiobooks, enjoyed time in the pool and hot tub and pulling his blanket over his head after a long, busy day.
Keith will be sorely missed by all who knew him in the community and here at the Maidstone Group Home, past and present.
