I just saw that Kieth from montana kitesports has passed. I only rode with him a few days but he was a very nice guy who helped many a kiter in and passing through his stompin grounds in montana. Life is short. thought some of you on here may know him as well and may want to know. aka icemonkey.. Sad

Keith was a super gracious guy, always willing to give local knowledge and help people out. He truly will be missed.

I met Keith during the Rodeo the year and agree that he was super gracious and one hell of an ambassador to the sport.

A very sad day INDEED!!!

Keith was a great guy !

He will definitely be missed.

Georgetown Lake was my first time snowkiting

Very sad news! Condolences to Keith’s family & friends.

I never met Keith, but sure sounds like he was a great guy & will be missed very much.

This tragedy reminds me to enjoy everyday to the fullest because you never know when it may be your last.

Man, Keith was a great guy, we had the good luck of meeting him and his wife Lynn, we was one of a kind person and a good rider and very friendly and honest guy, a guy of word and trusty.

Yeah life its short and we have to make sure we take the best out of it while it last. kiteboarding has made (me and others) meet other great guys and make alot of friends through the time and we will always have to be thankful for that.

Sad news and Im sure he is in heaven as Kiters all the time go to heaven except for those that screw another kiter.

in the next pic he is Kitting at the lagoon while lynn its taking pics of him, this pic was taken last year



All our condolences to his family and friends

Sad
