He moved to Dallas and was currently residing there. Keith was employed with Staples as an account executive.
Keith was so loved by many and will be missed more than words can say. He never met a stranger and his smile would light up any room. Keith had many interests especially a passion for the outdoors.
He spent much time hunting, fishing, water skiing, snow skiing and golfing. He was loyal and always had such a genuine concern for others. He cherished spending time with his family and friends.
Keith had a special bond and love for Averie, Audrie and Aiden. He will be missed but we are assured his eternal years will be in heaven.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, C.J. and Carolyn Horner; and his grandfather, Paul Mathews.
Survivors include his parents, Jimmie and Karen Horner; a brother, Todd Horner and wife Lori; a nephew, Aiden Horner of Amarillo; two nieces, Averie and Audrie Lane, all of Amarillo; his grandmother, Arlene Mathews of Amarillo; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and special friends.
The family will receive friends from 6 to 7:30 p.m. today at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be to Branden Wayne Hughes Scholarship Fund, ATTN: Susan Stevenson, 7200 W. Interstate 40, Amarillo, TX 79106.
