Odis Keith Estep, 91, passed away on November 9, 2024, at his home in Fort Worth, Texas. Diane, his beloved wife of 67 years, and all of their children were by his side. He was born October 21, 1933, in Calera, Okla., to Odis B. and Maggie (Wilkerson) Estep.
Keith married Diane Rogers on April 13, 1957, in San Antonio, Texas. He proudly served in the U.S. Air Force, and he was a successful entrepreneur, a brilliant leader, and a talented sportsman. Most of all, he was a family man. His smile and wisdom will be missed.
“A young boy in a peanut field with a long row to hoe.
An old man in a field of dreams that he helped to grow, with one more step to go.”
