William Curtis "Curt" Keith, born to Claudia and Rev. William Creth Keith in Los Angeles, CA, passed peacefully in his home in Lakeland, FL surrounded by family on June 14, 2023.

Curt was raised in various western states with his siblings Kathy and Ken. His love for music began in the church and continued throughout his life. One of his highlights was marching for UCLA in the Rose Bowl playing his beloved trumpet.

He met his wife Judy while working at IBM in Colorado and then they settled in Nebraska with their three children; Frank, Darci and Corey.

In 1990, Curt and Judy moved to Valrico, FL and began an accounting practice. While living in Valrico for 30 years, they enjoyed retirement and spending time with their grandchildren Megan, Kaelyn, Cullen, and Reagan and great-grandchildren Sara and Beckett. In addition to his family, he also loved golfing, attending symphonies, maps, his many cats, Tampa Bay sports, and coffee with hazelnut creamer. Adored by all who met him, he will forever be remembered as the kindest and best of men.
