Obituary for Keith French
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.
