Keith Arlyn Grimm

Keith Arlyn Grimm age 63, passed away the morning of August 22, 2024 during a quiet coffee time at home with loved ones at his side. Keith, of Rapid City, SD was born October 29, 1960 to David and Gloria (Koch) Grimm in New Underwood, SD. Three short years later, Keith’s family moved to a quaint house in Rapid Valley where he spent the rest of his childhood creating memories with his two brothers, Dale and Les.

Keith grew up in a loving home, and often spoke of how idyllic his childhood was. He spent his younger years playing with his brothers, honing his puzzling and card skills with his mother, and chasing the races with his family. Keith attended Central High School, class of 1978 and went on to work at Foam Insulators where he met the love of his life, Shelly. The two started their journey on a foundation of friendship that quickly grew into a lasting marriage and four beautiful children: Alicia, Melissa, John, and Tyler. It became apparent quite quickly in Keith’s journey as a father that he would do anything to give his children a childhood and life similar to the one he enjoyed so much himself. Keith and his family spent countless weekends building a family cabin in the hills that ended up becoming more of a lesson on building strong foundations, persevering through the unexpected, and finding joy in the moments they could connect as a family. In his passing, Keith’s legacy includes his Wife: Shelly. Children: Alicia Grimm, Melissa Beshara (Tony), Johnathan Grimm, and Tyler Grimm. Grandchildren: Kaiden and Kobi Grimm, and Owen and Emmett Beshara. Father: David Grimm. Sibling: Dale Grimm (Lena). Sister-in-Law: Christal Grimm.
