Many wonderful memories of visits to uncle Keith & Aunt Lois's beautiful home with my mother and father (Max & Delta). I always felt the love and kindness in their home. Truly great people and few I have known matched the examples they are to me. May our Father in heaven continually bless their children and families.
From Darla Williams:
Always loved visiting with Keith.He was our home teacher for years and a good one. He and Lois have been neighbors since we moved to Unity and we loved keith’s waves as he went by and Lois’s delicious homemade candies. Condolences to the girls, you had a great dad.
From LesLee Stoddard:
The funeral for Keith was beautiful. What a nice tribute to a wonderful man. Keith and Vaughn were so kind to always stop and visit with my mother Isabell.
She loved her cousins. I have sweet memories of Uncle Douglas and Aunt Leona my mother’s older sister. My mother was the youngest child in the family. It was so nice to watch the funeral.

Heartfelt love and hugs to the Egan family! I loved to see Uncle Keith and my grandpa (Vaughn), enjoying time together. Uncle Keith would get the brightest smile, and glimmer in his eyes; I loved to see those two laughing and chuckling together. Thank you for your example of love for your family, and service to our country. I'm glad you get to be with other family and friends on the other side now. What happy reunions you will be having as we cherish our love for and memories with you.

Connie, my mom wanted you to know how much she enjoyed your parents. She said, “ Oh now they’re together again.” I love that we had the same Aunt and Uncle Winnie and Evie. All our love to you and your family.
From Joe Carlson:
Keith was a very important to our family, especially my mom. He and Vaughn were playmates early in life and close friends throughout their lives. Mom always could expect Keith to stop and see her whenever he was in Pocatello. He and Vaughn visited her often when Mom was in the assisted living facility. She loved them both so very much. Keith and I were friends too for a long time. As a young boy Keith showed me how to drive a tractor. While I was driving he was standing along side coaching me. One day he slipped and fell between the wheel and the tractor. The tractor was moving and about to run over him. Keith was composed enough to show me how to get the tractor out of gear and he escaped serious injury or worse. I'm so greatful for having had Keith in my life!
