He was born in Johnson City, TN on October 3, 1950 to Robert E. and Beulah Street Orren. He married Marcy Chamberlain, she survives. He later married Jackie Cox Bown in Washington on December 22, 1979. She survives.

Also surviving are his mother, Beulah of Washington; two daughters, Dawn M. Orren of Washington, Melanie Bown of Sacramento, CA; aunt, (who was more like a sister) Brenda Carl of Washington and his cousins who were also like siblings and their families.

Keith was an only child but was always surrounded by loving family. He was devoted to his wife and daughters, was caring, loving, and had a wonderful sense of humor. He will be dearly missed.

His family would like to thank the OSF staff from the onset of his illness until his passing for their special care and love.
