Keith "Keeter" A. Chambers, 78, of West Salem, formerly of Northfield, Minn., passed away with his wife and family by his side, Monday, Jan. 11, 2016, at Gundersen Health System in La Crosse.
He was born Aug. 21, 1937, to Adrian and Christine (Gudvangen) Chambers in Faulkton, S.D.
Keith married Laurie (Brown) Zellmer on Jan. 31, 2002.
Keeter was a semi-truck driver most of his life. Over the years he worked for several different companies and had the opportunity to criss-cross much of the United States.
He could entertain family and friends for hours with his experiences. Keeter had a love and fascination of all things "cars". It was a rare thing to find a vehicle he was unable to identify by make/model/year.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his step-dad, Gabe Larson, Sr.; his first wife, Shirley (Hausen) Chambers; his son, Dale; his brother, Dale and sister-in-law, Joyce; and his sister, Betty (Dick) Rasmussen.
