LODI - Keith W. Kaether, age 67, passed away on Wednesday, February 8, 2023, at UW Hospital and Clinics.

He was born on July 24, 1955, in Madison, Wis., the son of Paul Kaether and Shirl (Worthington) Morse.

Keith graduated from Leuzinger High School in Lawndale, CA in 1974. He married his beloved wife Vicky Lewis on March 2, 1991.

Including being a renowned lifelong carpenter, Keith was also a retired Lodi Firefighter with 25 years of service and a member of the Exclusive Hunting Club in Edgerton, Wis.

Although Keith had many hobbies over his lifetime, the main ones included being an avid bowler, fisherman, hunter, and especially traveling the open road on his "Harley". Those that knew, loved, and admired Keith can all agree that he lived life to the fullest. Without a doubt his family and friends always knew of his love and that they could count on him no matter the need, especially if it included one of his great hugs.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Shirl Morse; his sister, Candace Lawrence; his father and mother-in-law, Gerald and Mary Lewis; his brother and sister-in-laws, Art (Judy) Lewis Jeri (Mark) Menke; and many beloved pets.
