Prayers for Family: Remembering a Beloved Father, Husband, and Writer

[chefkeri]

One of my cluster members (new); just passed away suddenly of a heart attack. He was a new father, stay at home dad, writer, and a really happy-go-lucky guy.

His wife came home from work the other night and found the baby in the high chair w/ breakfast food on her tray. Keith has passed away sometime that morning. The baby is fine.

If you are interested in sending cards or emails; please let me know and I will IM you the address.

I think there will be a fund established in lieu of flowers.

All prayers accepted and appreciated!

OMG how sad and tragic. I will keep them in my prayers!!

 

[chefkeri]

Thank you for all your prayers...When I hear an update on how the family is coping I will let you know.

It is truly a miracle that the baby stayed in the highchair. I do not know her exact age, but many little one's I know would barely sit still for breakfast let alone all day.

I believe Keith stayed near her, throughout the day, to protect her because SHE was always his first priority. He glowed; pure light; whenever he talked about his daughter.

Thanks again to all of you. You help carry my heavy heart and relieve my tears. I can only hope all our prayers hold Lori up and help her cope during her deepest sorrow.

She's in my prayers. Please keep us updated.

I get shivers just thinking about it. Yes, I'm sure the baby was "watched over" that day. Thank goodness she was in the highchair. What if she had been just crawling through the house, at least she couldn't go anywhere to harm herself.

 

[raebates]

They are in my prayers.

What a tragic, tragic thing. My heart is breaking for the family. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[kearstin]

I am so sorry for the family. They will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[chefkeri]

The wake is this evening. I will know more about how Lori and her son are doing tomorrow.I am sorry. As I said, I only knew Keith for a few months. I mis-spoke. The baby is a boy. This is funny to me because he gushed so much I must have assumed his child was a girl. (daddy's little girl) But I guess that's just Keith. He loved his baby so much that the actual sex never came up (I guess). Sorry for the confusion.

 

[SillyChef]

Aw Keri: I am so very sorry about your friend. That is just a heartbreaking thing to have happen. Please let the family know that all his Pampered Chef friends are thinking about them and are keeping them in our prayers.

[pamperedharriet]

What a tragedy! I am so happy that the baby was in the high chair and out of harms way. Some one had to be matching over him and protecting him.
