Keith was born on March 28, 1941 in Webster Springs, West Virginia, the son of Claude and Orva Armentrout. In 1951, he moved to North Lima, Ohio, with his family and attended South Range High School where he played football and boxed.

He was an incredibly hard-working and kind, compassionate man who cared for and loved his family and friends deeply.  He also had a great sense of humor and a passion for horse racing and politics.  His life was greatly influenced by a sincere appreciation for education and a great sense of adventure. 

He began his career employed with the Ohio Turnpike before attending college for mechanical engineering. He subsequently worked as a mechanical engineer in the steel industry for over 40 years, often traveling all over the world. 

While working in China, he met his wife of 22 years, Lou Jing.  They were married in Shanghai in 1997 and moved to Florida in 1999 with their son, Samual.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Lou Jing Armentrout; his sons, Samual Armentrout and Michael Armentrout; his daughter, Michele Davidson and her husband, Terry Davidson; four grandchildren; several cousins; and many close friends. 

Two sisters, Jan Leffler and Roseanne Barry, and a brother, Monty Armentrout, are deceased.

    My dad was the most hardworking gentle loving person I’ve ever known, he has shown me how to be a man and set the example for me for the rest of my life, although he was always hard on me  it was because he loved me and wanted me to succeed so badly. I will miss my dad and think of him throughout the rest of my life through my decisions and life problems. Through his tough times in the end he still ceased to complain about his illness, he always had a smile on his face no matter what. I love you dad.
