Keith was an active volunteer at the VA Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was a lifelong learner with two bachelor degrees, and up until his fourth round of cancer in August was working on his Masters in Criminal Justice. He was a wonderful husband, dad, and papa. He will be greatly missed but is now at peace and not in pain.
Memorial Service: 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, October 15 at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 510 S. 33rd Street. Memorials may be made to Redeemer Lutheran Church or donations may be made to the Milem family to be given to a local thirteen year old, named Frankie, who will soon be starting treatment for Leukemia in Kansas City. Any donations given will help the family with expenses during their several months stay.
