Keith Fox, Jr. age 68, of Portland, Michigan passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 25, 2020. Keith was born May 15, 1952, in Detroit, MI to Keith Fox Sr. and Elaine (Dome) Fox, with whom he is proceeded by in death. Keith was the eldest of 9 siblings.
He is survived by his loving wife of 22 years, Kathleen, his children: Rose (Ralph) Sherman, Amanda (Andy) Poelman, Kayla (Josh) Sanford, Kevin Fox (Lauren), Kimberly Johnson and Glenn (Vanessa) Fox and 9 grandchildren: Elizabeth, Aubrey, Ian, Emmery, Zoey, Nate, Evan, Jonah and Adalyn.
Keith enjoyed spending time with his family above all else. He loved his wife’s cooking, especially her desserts and happily agreed to indulge in her Grey’s Anatomy addiction. He was an avid collector of pressed pennies, and enjoyed panning for gold and metal detecting. He was very hands-on and could fix almost anything. He enjoyed music, movies and spoiling his grandkids and his two bulldogs, Sampson and Diesel, who will miss him dearly. Keith was also an active member of his Church in Ionia.
Keith fought a long, hard battle with cancer for many years, but never once gave up. He was always smiling, giving a thumbs-up or a very firm handshake. His smile and positivity were contagious to everyone around him.
He was so loved and will be missed by many.
A celebration of Keith’s life will be determined at a later date. Arrangements are entrusted to Lehman Funeral Homes. Online condolences may be made at www.lehmanfuneralhomes.com.
