Keith David Langfelder passed away in his sleep on July 8th at the age of 55. He is survived by his wife Chrissy; his son Austin 23 years old; his stepchildren Kayla Lay, 23 years old; Bryce Hodges, 19 years old; and Lauren Lay, 17 years old; his devoted parents Pat & Jay Langfelder his sisters Leah (Dean) Mears and Donna (Mike) Hoover, and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Keith loved to smile, tell a joke, and be a friend. He never met a stranger and would share his last nickel with anyone in need. He loved life and lived it to its fullest until a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed in 2013. He always thought he would walk again and gave it his all.
Keith grew up in North Carolina, where many of his friends still live and keep in touch since childhood. He moved to Vero Beach, FL, where he learned his trade that would lead to the creation of his small business, Quality Seamless Gutters in St. Cloud, FL. He got just about every job he bid because people just liked him. Keith resided in St. Cloud, Fl. from 1994 to 2019.
His family moved to Hawthorne, FL, in 2019 so his wife could pursue her doctorate at the University of Florida. The love Chrissy had for Keith was repaid with an overwhelming amount of pride and adoration he had for her.
After his accident, Keith was relegated to a life of telling stories and making people laugh. It is with a very sad heart that we say goodbye to our husband, father, brother, son, and friend. We know he rests in peace with those we love who have gone before him.
