About	Keith was a 16-year old junior at FCHS when he passed away. He was a leader in the marching band, a member of the National Honor Society, a varsity tennis player, and an excellent student enrolled in AP classes and headed for Virginia Tech. Keith died tragically in March of 2001 following a car accident on February 27. He was driving home from tennis practice when he lost control of the vehicle and struck a tree. He was in ICU for three days with significant trauma to the brain before he left us. Keith had signed up to be an organ donor when he got his license and was able to donate skin to help about 100 burn victims, his eyes, his leg bones, and his pericardial sac. We love and miss Keith, but he lives on in the people whom he donated to and in the hearts of everyone who knew him and loved him.
