A Mass of Christian Burial will be held 1 PM on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, 1227 E. Bristol Road, Burton, MI 48529; Father Seamus Kettner celebrant. Interment will take place following the Mass in Davison Cemetery. The family will receive visitors 5-7 PM on Friday, September 25, 2026, at Allen Funeral Home, 9136 Davison Road, Davison, MI 48423.

Keith earned his dental degree from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and went on to build a trusted practice in Burton, MI, where he served patients for four decades. He deeply valued the longtime staff members who worked alongside him and became like family to him, and he took great pride in caring for multiple generations of families as his patients. He was also an active member of the Genesee District Dental Society, the Michigan Dental Association, and the American Dental Association.
In 1971, Keith married Ellen Suzanne "Sue" Williams, and they built a life together raising their girls in Burton. For the last 10-years, he and Sue “globetrotted” across the Midwest to Plainwell, Ann Arbor, Bettendorf, IA, recently settling in Holland. They made lasting friendships in each location.
Keith unassumingly participated in multiple community organizations. He was a long-time member of the Davison and then the Burton Rotary Club, as well as with the Boy Scouts of America, earning several commendations for his lifetime of involvement with the organization.
An avid outdoorsman from an early childhood, Keith loved hunting, fishing, and boating, and was never happier than when he was outside. All year long, he looked forward to the time that he spent in the Upper Peninsula during hunting season. Later in life, he volunteered with the DNR conducting frog counts and patients, especially, took notice - frog paraphernalia became a running joke that he never seemed to mind. Reserved by nature, Keith was instantly recognizable for his large, warm smile. He loved his family and treasured dinners out with them as well as with close friends. Those who knew Keith remember him as a man of few words but a big heart.
He is survived by his wife, Sue; his daughters, Jessica (Ron) Ledesma and Alissa (Preston) Westerman; and his sister, Connie (Jay) Castner. He also leaves behind his granddaughter Alexis (Samuel) Nichols, nieces Stephanie Rose and Paula (Mike) Ryan, and the Ryan great-nieces and nephews, along with his cousins and the many good friends he cherished throughout his life. He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Geraldine Williams and his parents-in-law, Jack and Mary Galleher.
