Keith was born on October 7, 1956, to Leonard and Angeline (Miranowski) Nordick. Keith received his sacraments at St. Joseph Church in Brushvale, MN.

Keith lived a full life of kindness and gratitude. Keith called rural Rothsay home. Following his years at Rothsay High School he dedicated his life to farming, nurturing a variety of animals that brought him joy and companionship. From dairy and beef cattle to horses, hogs, sheep, ducks, chickens, geese, and his dog “Buddy.” Anybody that knows Keith, knows he treated his animals like family.

Keith was known for his endless helpfulness and rich knowledge, always ready to lend a hand or share a solution to a problem. His resilience and reserved nature made him an admired figure in the community, while his ability to touch lives as a father figure will be fondly remembered by many. 

In addition to his farming endeavors, Keith cherished spending time riding horses and nurturing his vegetable garden, which yielded many delicious pickles and potatoes that found their way into the homes of friends and family alike. He enjoyed social gatherings, especially at the Pavilion Dance Hall, Breckenridge, MN, and later at Silver Dollar in Elizabeth, MN, where he could connect with friends, share a laugh and catch up on the local news. 

Keith is survived by his sisters: Cindie (Bryan) Van Tassel, Sheri (Ardel) Kressin, and Dorothy (Leon) Muelher; brothers: Darral (Laureen) and Gerald (Cathy) Nordick; nieces and nephews: Brandon (Kristin), Darin, Brian (Katy), Kristie (Tracy), Karrie (Joe), Alyshia (Matt), Derek (Anne), Jared, and “All who called him Friend.”

He was preceded in death by his parents Leonard & Angeline Nordick; and grandparents Louis & Elizabeth (Deboever) Nordick and Aton & Lena (Schwiep) Miranowski.
