  6. I know Jesus MOVED Keith just like He MOVED JJ. He did not want to see Keith suffer anymore. I am joyous Keith is healthy once more. I am so glad he gets to be with our Savior that he loved and served. I am so glad we spoke and praised God together
    Yet my heart is heavy over his not continuing here on earth with his family and us, his friends. I will miss him and I will share with his children all the memories I have.
    I know Jesus holds the family tightly right now and my arms are also holding them close to my heart and in prayer.

  10. I worked with Keith from 2012-to about 2014 at Gateway. He was like a father figure to me and was always there- whether I needed help with tech or just a word of encouragement. He’d always pick on me too while we both worked together in the office to get CR ready. He believed in me when no one else did. Although I haven’t seen him since 2014, his impact on my life is still alive today. I’m so thankful for his kind heart and for always helping me navigate being a college kid.

  16. My family has been a part of Gateway for 10 years and throughout those years we have been blessed with the gifts and talents shared by Keith. He seemed to always be present and actively working for our church community. There was always a welcoming smile, silliness actually with his Tech Arts family, and pure joy in sharing and serving. You could tell how genuinely he loved his ministry and Gateway. When he performed worship he radiated with the love of God and you can tell he enjoyed every part of the celebration.

    I shared this thought with friends recently and want to share it in Keith’s memory notes too. The life of Keith was taken so early, but he was here as long as God had planned him to be. He was blessed with a best friend and wife in Karen who you can visibly see how much they loved and supported each other. His family meant the world to him. They were truly blessed in their lives together.

    Through the last several months of Keiths illness, I feel like we have been witness to God exposing his love through so many people, most especially his wife Karen. God showed himself as clear as day through her with every word she spoke, every action she took, every tragic and difficult event she had to deal with. Also, the overflowing love, affection, and admiration, along with immense generosity of time, blessings and talents that made itself known through God’s grace and gifts of family, friends and community.

    Its very sad that Keith is gone. That a husband and best friend to Karen is no longer here. That a dad is missing from the lives of his children and a friend and talent is missing From Gateway.

    Through all of this God wants us to see what came from everyone by the sacrifice of his child Keith, who is now an Angel in Heaven. No doubt

    Let the tears and sadness flow. But then count your blessings twice and begin the memories, smiles and laughter for his legacy.

    You will be missed by many Keith.

    For the Higginbotham Family, We will continue to pray for your peace and that the memories surpass the pain of his absence.

    Our sincerest condolences to the Higginbotham family.

    Ann Marie and Samantha Hoffman.
