D. Keith Swift, age 73, of Appleton, passed on 1-30-21. Born 12-6-47 in Waukesha. Graduated from Waukesha HS, attended UW-O and graduated with honors from FVTC in computer science. He loved helping others, volunteering at the Mooring, reading, building computers, working at Red’s Pizza in Oshkosh, and spending time with his family and friends. His boss, Stevie, coworkers, and regular customers at Red’s Pizza were like family to him.
Keith would have celebrated his 44th year of sobriety on February 11th. He loved others deeply and was one of the least judgmental and most forgiving people you would ever meet. He would give you the shirt off his back or a place to stay.
Those who knew Keith best will miss his kindness, sense of humor, and his fun-loving character. He loved his family with all his heart. Keith is survived by his daughter Gayle Bakos (Steve) family from (Marshfield), 2 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild, sisters Ronna and Connie Swift (Appleton) and extended family.
No service (COVID). The family thanks the staff at Theda Clark Hospital for the loving care they provided.
In lieu of flowers, memorial cards/gifts to help with expenses would be appreciated. Please send cards to Ronna Swift (920) 205-2589 or 230 W Seymour St, Appleton, 54915. Valley Funeral Home, Inc. www.vfh.com
