Keith M. Dill

Keith Dill, 60, of Eaton, CO passed through the veil on Thursday, February 16, 2012 at his home surrounded by his family. He was born March 19, 1951 to Ray and Arvella Dill. He was the youngest of four children. Keith was raised east of Pierce, CO where his parents farmed. He went to school in Pierce and Ault, CO where he graduated in 1969. On January 22, 1972 he married Vicki (Nordeen) Burns. Keith was a jack of all trades and could fix almost anything. He enjoyed gardening and the love of nature. He loved having family meals and playing card games with his family. He loved Christmas most of all—hanging lights, putting up the tree and watching kids open their gifts. He also liked coloring Easter eggs and of course hiding them—always finding that one egg later in the summer that was still lost and just didn’t smell the same. During his life, Keith farmed in the Eaton area, worked on Heavy and Highway bridge construction. He loved the idea of starting with nothing and then finishing with this beautiful bridge in the end. Keith also worked for the town of Nunn. He enjoyed working in the park and when he was asked about working at the little cemetery on the hill, he always told people that was the last act of service he could do for someone. He also worked at Willie’s Diesel Shop where he learned from the master of Detroit, Willie Holwerda. Keith loved working on old houses and remodeling apartments. He spent ten years working for Welco Services. Keith had a great sense of humor and through the years he and Vicki fed many missionaries. He would always tell them they better eat before they came because all they would be getting was crackers and water, or he would tell them he was sure glad they came because that was the only time Vicki fed him. Keith is survived by his wife, Vicki; daughters, Kelli (Marlin) Kunau of Ault, Kendra (Justin) Dill-Erickson of Eaton; grandsons, Dustin Kunau, Dakota Dill-Erickson, Ty Dill-Erickson, and Lane Dill-Erickson; father-in-law, Delmar Burns; brother, Tim (Rena) Dill of Pierce; sister-in-law, Candice Dill of Nunn; aunt, Nina Craven; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Jackie; brother, Steve; and mother-in-law, Mabel Burns. Viewing will be from 5-7 p.m., Monday, February 20, 2012 at Adamson Chapel.
