Keith H. Heinrich , 48, passed away on Friday, April 6th, 2018 in Norfolk, Virginia. Keith was born on September 15th, 1969 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He was the son of Richard Heinrich and Linda Parks Santos. Keith was what we call the “Jack of all Trades”. He worked at a variety of trades: roofing, plumbing, air-conditioning and refrigeration, home-improvements and construction throughout the years.
He is survived by his father, Richard Heinrich (Roseann); his sons, Keith Michel and Keegan Bryan, his sister, Tammy Stafford (Doug); his brother, Bryan Heinrich (Chrissy); his stepsisters, Annette Bowman and Trish Kraemer; his niece, Katlyn; his nephews Zack and Shayne; and long-time girlfriend Cindy Partin.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Linda Parks Santos and his step-brother, Joe Russ.
Keith grew up in Virginia Beach attending Princess Anne High School. You could find him in his teens at the beach, biking, or at the skating rink. He was always willing to help out a friend and in return his friends over the years helped him out as well. He was a kid magnet being a big kid himself. The early years with his sons were some of the most treasured times of his life. In recent years, he enjoyed bicycling to the beach to get some sun or flying his kites on windy days. He enjoyed cooking for friends and family. Family gatherings always had a special place in his heart as he was a sensitive person and cherished time spent with his family. Keith will mostly be remembered for his sense of humor and out-going personality. He had a way of making people that he had just met feel as if they had been life-long friends. His family and close friends would like you to join them for the celebration of his life.
The Celebration of Life will be on April 14th, 2018 from 2pm to 4pm at Family Choice Funerals & Cremations, 5401 Indian River Road Virginia Beach, Virginia 23464.
