Keith was born on August 14, 1966 to the late Marvin and Virgilla (Thomas) Fischer. He married Penny Van Straten on June 30, 2007. He was a true fighter and quite the outdoorsman. He loved fishing, hunting and walking in the woods with his grandchildren. Keith also liked to work on cars and he worked at Appleton Auto Recycle to keep his body and mind busy. He was known to come home with a few black eyes and several bloody injuries without even knowing it. In Keith's free time, he loved picking on people (Brandon). Everybody was known as either "Frances" or "Francine" and if you walked with two left feet, you were "Murphy". He also enjoyed every minute spent with his wife, children and grandchildren. Keith is survived by his wife, Penny Fischer; children, Aeriel, Drake (Chyenne), Brittnay, Brandon, Jordan, Jolene, Raven & Chico (dogs); grandchildren, Justin, Paxton, Atreya, June, Emillie, Hayden, Abel, River, Marissa and Colton and his father-in-law, Richard Van Straten.
