Keith Nelson

Keith Duane Nelson
11/12/62 – 8/20/13

Keith was a SWEET man. He was happy a lot and too generous with what he had. Gone are the voices outside and inside his head (he never knew which), RIP. He can truly concentrate on the peace now. Keith was a model for the Mental Health Community and brought about much good. Valley Mental Health and Valley Plaza Apartments will be devastated for a long time, also his sweet girlfriend Pam and his roommate Don.

Please support the mentally ill, 90% of them are kind and sweet and afraid of YOU, not the opposite. I love my crazy family.

Keith is survived by siblings, Nancy (Bill) Pekny, Sharon (Calvin) Bench, Dale (Barbara) Nelson, Colleen (Gerald) Lemon, Jill (Gary) Hilton, Shawna (Roy) Knorr, Kevin Nelson, Merry (Matthew) Evitts.
