Keith Loneker was such a nice guy and pretty cool too. I enjoyed having him as a sub at LHS. We’ll all miss you Keith and we’ll still have lots of great memories of you.
A gentle giant. RIP.
Even though I only met Keith once and did not know him personally, I am very sad for Kelly and family. My thoughts and peaceful thoughts/hugs go out to Kelly at this sad time.
Big heart, full of charisma, a laugh a minute, loved his family. I could say many great things about Keith, but most of all I just want to say thank you. RIP.
So saddened to learn of Keith’s passing. He was a great friend and a very gentle man. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten!
We are extremely saddened by the news of Keith’s passing. He was a kind soul and a friend to all. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family. And we will continue to pray for the Loneker family. Roselle Park mourns with you – small town with a huge heart.
It was always a great day when Keith was subbing in the classroom next door to my office. Selfless and gentle, he was an example to the students, as well as their teacher. I’ll always be grateful that our life paths crossed, Paula Hatcher, RN, LFSHS
i knew Keith through a friend of mine. He was always a man that stood for friendship! Loyal he was! Loved his family!!!! God bless you all!
Keith was my security guard all through my High School days at Lawrence High. Always a positive guy who was fun to be around. I always thought it was cool how I would see him in movies, and I got to tell the people around me that I knew him! My Thoughts and Prayers are with his family and friends. Rest Easy Big Keith!
At St. John Catholic School, we knew Keith as a school parent. His kids, Keith Jr. and Kaylee, were St. John students. Keith was always supportive and a generous volunteer. We are saddened that his life was cut short. Our prayers to his family.
