Wooster was remembered as a caring, loving person in an obituary.
“Keith had a big heart and a happy soul, he was always doing something crazy or cracking jokes, there wasn’t a day that went by that he didn’t go out of his way to make sure you knew that he loved you,” the obit says. “He was one that can’t and won’t be forgotten from his beautiful blue eyes to his curly brown hair, to his signature ‘limp,’ to his big fulfilling smile. He will be deeply missed.”
Friends and family have taken to social media over the last couple days to express a similar sentiment, saying that the man will be missed.
The obituary says he is survived by siblings, grandparents, other relatives and many friends.
