Our Father God welcomed home His beloved son, Keith Lance (age 70), on December 30, 2018. He was born in Bowling Green, Ohio on May 5, 1948. Keith has filled the lives around him with love and great memories (memories for your scrapbook as he would always say). If you knew Keith, you knew the love of his life, Sheryl, was always right there by his side. He is survived by Sheryl and three children- Michelle, Braden and Justin. He is preceded in death by his daughter, Dawn. Mourning his loss now, the family cannot wait to meet him in Heaven someday for another boat ride, plane trip or just all around great time with lots of laughs.
Keith was the son of Ronald G. and Lillian N. Lance. He had three sisters- Jolene Danner, Claudia Ehmke and Sandy Sepsi, and a brother- Ronald L. Lance. All his siblings have preceded him in death except Claudia.
After graduating from Otsego High School, Keith served in the Army (1967- 1969 in Korea) and was a fireman/ EMT for Bowling Green. He made a living being a home builder and then went on to be a home inspector.
Keith’s request would be to please go to the church of your choice this Sunday and put an extra helping in the offering plate.
His love for God, generosity, ever-present smile, and kindness will live on in Sheryl and their three children- Michelle (Frank) Graceffo, Braden Couch, and Justin (Amanda) Couch, and his three grandchildren- Morgan & Brooke Graceffo and Brinley Couch.
