Keith was born the son of Donald and Charlotte (Schmidt) Hickman. He was raised in Bushnell and graduated from the Bushnell High School in 1966.
Following high school he attended Fort Dodge Community College in Ft. Dodge, IA. He then transferred to the Denver Automotive School and received his degree in Auto Mechanics.
Keith was married to Betty Lonsdale at the Calvary United Methodist Church in Bushnell on August 11, 1968. They lived in Kimball and Keith worked as a mechanic for Larson Ford. The family then moved to Sidney and he worked for John Deere for 2 years. They lived in Gurley for a short time until moving back to Kimball where Keith worked for Mosey Equipment, the Case dealer in Kimball. They moved to Pine Bluffs in 1983. He worked for Bi-State Equipment and then Dersham Dairy Farms, and he was working for Pine Bluffs Sand and Gravel at the time of his death. Keith loved his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
He enjoyed tinkering with things in his shop and was always fixing things for his family and friends. He enjoyed spending time at the lake camping and riding the jet-ski. Keith knew no strangers, and his saying was “strangers are just friends you have not met yet.” He always enjoyed pie at the Village Inn on Wednesdays after his chemo treatments.
