Keith Richard French

January 15, 1992 — March 6, 2015

Early Friday morning, March 6th, our beautiful and wonderful son Keith Richard French passed away at the age of 23. The sadness and overwhelming grief he leaves behind with those who knew and loved him speak volumes about what kind of a young man he truly was. As a parent we should never have to do this, it's just not in the overall scheme of life to have to bury a child. It is by far the worst pain ever, ever experienced. They say that the Lord works in mysterious ways and that there is a reason for everything, but please tell me the reason for losing a 23 year old son. Keith had a new found passion and enthusiasm for life and was in the process of completing the requirements for becoming a certified home inspector. He was looking forward to starting his own business in the inspection field. His enthusiasm and passion for life was contagious and felt by all he met and befriended. Keith was born in Prospect Heights, IL on January 15th, 1992. After the family moved back to Wisconsin, he attended East De Pere high school. Keith worked as a prep chef. He enjoyed working with electronics, especially his computer. He enjoyed an eclectic assortment of music and Hyperion, his bearded dragon. Keith was the loving son of Caryn Rosen French and Richard Keith French, beloved brother of Janelle, Daniel, Rachel and Hannah, loving grandson of Patricia LaJoy and the late Eva Mae and Robert French, the late Fred Rosen, and he also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends. We will forever love and miss you, Keith. Oh very young What will you leave us this time? There'll never be a better chance to change your mind And if you want this world to see a better day Will you carry the words of love with you? Will you ride the great white bird into heaven? And though you want to last forever You know you never will, you know you never will And the goodbye makes the journey harder still.
