Keith A. King

Keith Allen King was born in Toledo on September 18th, 1951. On November 14th, 2018 at the age of 67, with his loving wife by his side, he peacefully left his journey on earth to join his Lord and loved ones that went before him.

Keith was an Army Veteran and served his country in the Vietnam War. He returned from the war and on July 11th, 1972, he married his childhood honey, Deborah Buczko. They enjoyed 46 years of marriage as best friends for better or worse, richer or poorer and in sickness and in health. During their marriage they welcomed two sons, six grandchildren and his special fur baby Panzer.

Keith enjoyed fishing, working on his model ship, astronomy, building his own telescope and spending time with his family. He was an avid Green Bay Packer fan and football Sundays with his boys was a special time for him.

If you were lucky enough to be loved by him, you never left without him telling you to be careful out there and that he loved you.
He recently retired from Ort Tool and Die after 17 years. He was a hard worker and instilled those values in his sons.

He will be greatly missed by his family but will live on in our hearts forever. We only need to look up in the sky to the Ursa Major Constellation where he has a star named after him, "The Old Man", to know his spirit shines brightly in us all.

Keith is survived by his wife, Deborah; sons, Keith (Jamie) and Michael King; grandchildren, Tracci Michael (Jessica), Dylan, Courtney, Stephanie, Michael, and Emily King; mother, Nancy Borchardt; siblings, Terry (Janie) King, Cindy (Pete) Kimble, Joanie (Chet) Merrill, Bobbie Lynn Camara, and Michael (Paula) Borchardt and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by father, Bob Borchardt; mother and father in law, John and Ada Buczko; brother in law John Buczko and beloved pet, Panzer.
The family would like to thank Hospice of NWO, his nurse Sarah and aide Duane for the kindness and care shown to Keith.

Memorial donations can be made to the family or Hospice of NWO.
