Anthony Wayne "Tony" Keith, 46 years of age, of Wilmer, Alabama, departed this life on Saturday, January 11th, 2014 in Mobile, Alabama.

Tony was born on February 10th, 1967 in Cincinnati, Ohio, son of Edward and Darlene Canada Keith.

While he served in Iraq, he survived three IED attacks but was left with a broken neck and traumatic brain injury.

Tony was of the Messianic Jewish Faith and a member of the Congregation Tree of Life Synagogue in Mobile, Alabama. Tony loved to tend to his livestock, which included goats and miniature Jersey Cows.

Tony was survived by his parents, Edward and Darlene Keith of Wilmer, Alabama; one daughter, MC3 Margaret Keith, USN from Atlanta; his paternal grandmother, Della Margaret Keith of Denny's Gap, Kentucky; one sister, Tonia Wooten of Texas; three aunts, Ella Beene of Indiana, Euetta Morrow of Kentucky, and Justene Foster of Tennessee; two uncles, Glen Canada of Kentucky and Samuel Canada of Ohio; and a host of other family and friends who mourn his passing.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Sam and Lela Canada of Kentucky; and his paternal grandfather, Arvel Keith of Kentucky.

Visitations were held on Saturday, January 18th, 2014 after 12:00 noon at the Lake Cumberland Funeral Home in Somerset, Kentucky.

Funeral services were held on Saturday, January 18th, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. in the Chapel of the Lake Cumberland Funeral Home with Bro. Ulanda Price officiating.

Tony's cousins served as his pallbearers.

Interment followed in the Liberty Cemetery in Kidder, Kentucky.

THIS IS A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF TONY,

If you could see me now you wouldn't shed a tear, Though you may not understand why I'm no longer there. Remember my spirit, that is the real me because I'm still very much alive, I've just been set free. Oh, if you could only see!

I have held our Father's face and I've touched my Savior's hand. All of Heaven's angels rejoiced as I entered the promised land. Beyond the gates of pearl I've walked on the golden streets.

I've touched the walls of jasper and dipped my foot in the crystal sea. The beauty is beyond words and nothing could compare, I've even seen our Lords mansion and someday I'll meet you there. Let Jesus be your guide because "His Word" will show you the way. So please don't cry because we will meet again someday.
