The
following is from Keith's Mother, Sandy Falk:
My dearest
Keith
It has been two years since you have left us--do you have any idea how
much you are missed. We, your family, extended family and friends think
about you daily. Your dad and I went to the MAC meet this weekend--we
kow how excited you would have been if you could have swam in your home
pool. It was good and sad being there. We can honestly say that it was
great to see some of your team mates like Doak, Zerber, Alberts, Meekins
and Tony.
Did you know that Kevin has a website in your name? I looked at it all
the time. I wish more people would respond to it but hopefully it will
get more action soon. Taylor had a good message on it but Derek said
he wanted to keep his thoughts of you private.--Derek had a really great
memorial of you that we have on tape.
I hope you are happy with the scholarship that we set up in your name.
We just thought this is what you would want to help others.
Keith, I just miss you so much and I just wish I could have done things
different for you before you died, I am sure you know what I am talking
about. I do want to thank you you for coming that Sunday night and I
wish I could have had the leftovers that you wanted
WE ALL LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU Dad, Mom. Mandi, Niciki Grandma and the
two cats--Addie(she knows when you are around) and Mort

The following is from Keith's friend Megan:
I consider Keith my best friend on the EMU swim team. Of everyone I got to
know at EMU, he was my favorite person. He always had a cheerful personality
and always made me laugh. I will never forget the time he borrowed my
collars and chains and dressed up goth for halloween. I will never forget
going to swimmer parties and he would be the first person I found to hang
out with. After he died I never felt the same at those parties because I was
always looking to see him there. I will never forget hanging out and going
to the Electronic Music Fesitval in Detroit with him. He was the only friend
that wanted to go with me. I will never forget those times and Keith is a
friend that I will never forget.

The following is from
Keith's friend James:
Let me tell
you about Keith Falk. He was and still is the most selfless person I
have ever encountered. Always sllow to anger, Keith gave alot for his
friends, and expected little or nothing in return. He was everybody's
pal, smiling, joking, and having a good time. Even when things were
down, he made an attempt to see the other side of the coin. To this
day, he continues to put others before himself. Let us all relfect on
the example he set by his life and afterlife. If we could all find that
piece of him inside us, maybe tomorrow wont seem so bad. I wish we'd
all been ready.
James Peace,
Friend of
Keith

The following is from Keith's friends
the Meekins Family:
Dear Keith,
Just wanted to let you know how much the Meekins family misses you. We think of you and your family quite often. It was great seeing your mom and dad at the Mac Meet last weekend. I am sure it was hard for them at times. The boys did great. You would have been proud. I came across a picture of you and Ryan at a pizza eating contest your freshman year and I thought it would be good to add to your web page. You and Ryan had some good times at those Clarenceville Swim meets. We miss you.
Love, the Meekins

Currently, I've been
working on converting Keith's Autobiography
to be available online, for right now, all I have is .pdf file of the
document, I'll be converting the hard copy to
a word document
just as soon as I have time, thanks for hanging in there.
You may download Keiths
Autobiography Here,
caution, it's a large file at 2.5mb
I'm beginning a page
deticated entirely to Keiths Friends and Family, on this page will be pictures
of Keith and his friend and perhaps some words they would like to include. Through
these pages, I hope that Keiths friends will have a chance to connect with others
that care for Keith and are willing to come forward with their feelings. I will
attempt to include contact information in case you would like to contact them.
Keiths friend Taylor
Haskins has already written something reguarding his friend. You may find Taylor's
page here.
I hope this site
has helped you understand how important Keith was, and always will be in the
hearts of so many.
Through this site I envision some of those people connecting and sharing what
they remember about Keith.
