Keith joined the Billizzi MacRae American Legion, where he served twice as commander. He was in sales before retiring. His passions were cooking, gardening, carpentry, and hunting; but the greatest joy of his life was his family.

Keith was a kind and gentle man who gave so much of himself, not only to his family, but friends, neighbors, and acquaintances. Contributions may be be made to the Keith Jung Memorial Fund.
