Keith also leaves behind seven grandchildren; Coy Daniels, Collin Daniels and companion, Joie Bell, Caydin Daniels and companion, Ryan Belcher, Monica Daniels, Kendall Armstrong, Korie Kane and companion, Kane Bender, and Kenna Whitcomb and companion, Kayla Woody. Along with five great-grandchildren; Grayson, Embrie, Everleigh, Dekan, Truett, and two more on the way. Also left to cherish Keith memories are his three sisters; Donna Cool (Bill), Barbara McCauley (Troy), and Marsha Lanham (Preston); his mother-in-law, Dorie Weese Lewis Liggett; sister-in-laws, Kathy Chabut (Joe), and Martha Lewis; brother-in-laws, Sonny Lewis (Lura), Brooks Lewis (Shirley), Steve Lewis (Sherri), Chip Lewis (Vera), and Michael Lewis (Kelly); Along with 23 nieces and nephews, and 39 great nieces and nephews that he adored and would do anything for.

Besides his parents, Keith was preceded in death by his father-in-law, Sonny Lewis; step-father-in-laws Luther Guy Lewis and William Liggett; sister-in-laws, Libby Lewis Healey, Julie Wamsley Lewis and Glenda Lewis Peters; a niece, Chasta Lanham; and nephews, Charlie Lanham and Jason Healey.

Keith was a mechanic by profession, and (in his words) a “jack of all trades, but master of none”. By choice in the 1980s, Keith worked for Carter Roag Coal Company, owned and operated K and G Service Center in Mill Creek. He worked for Elkins Truck Service as a mechanic. During the 1990s, he was a mechanic for Burns Motor Freight before going to work as a mechanic for Randolph County Department of Highways, in the 2000s, he transferred into the maintenance department at the Huttonsville Correctional Facility, where he retired from.

Keith was loved by many but liked by all that knew him. He never met a stranger; always a smile on his face, a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other, always a good time to be had. Keith spent his entire life devoted to his family, believing his was a protector to all, and would help anyone who asked.

As Keith wished, he will be cremated, desiring to have his ashes spread on the family property in High Germany. He wishes for no formal funeral services, only to celebrate his life, not mourn his death. As we are sure he is celebrating with the many loved ones gone before him, until we meet again, your family loves you and misses you!

The Randolph Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements for Keith Alan Armstrong.
