Keith was born April 6, 1953, to Ralph and Irene (Hamer) Jungjohann, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He was united in marriage to Elizabeth Koon on Oct. 12, 1992, at the Little Brown Church in Nashua. Keith loved being in the outdoors, spending his time at the cabin in Wisconsin trout fishing, riding horses and motorcycles, flying down the zip line and building the "best" bonfires. He was known by many as the "animal whisperer," befriending animals from pigeons to horses, even humans.
He is survived by his loving wife, Elizabeth; children, James (Larinda) Jungjohann, Jennifer (Tray) Campbell, Naia Tilghman and Whitney Jungjohann; grandchildren, Jensyn, Jaelyn, Jade, Mia and Roman; his brother, Steve Jungjohann; and five nieces and nephews.
