Remembering Brother Keith Whited

Published: Oct 1 2019 2:50PM

As many of you sadly know, we lost a Brother last week in a tragic work truck accident. Keith Whited, 40, of Castlewood, Va., was killed Sept. 25 following a traffic collision involving his Norfolk Southern fuel truck. Brother Keith had been employed with N.S. for 10 years and was a member of Affiliated System Federation Local Lodge 571.

Amongst his friends and Brothers on the railroad, Keith will be remembered fondly for his genuine kindness and friendly demeanor. A big sports fan, like many in the area, Brother Keith loved Virginia Tech football. He also enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and fishing, kayaking and his jeep. But most of all, Brother Keith loved his family. He was a proud husband, stepfather and he could not have been more pleased to brag about the newest addition to his life, his baby granddaughter, Penny, who he bragged and gushed about daily.

Our Brotherhood will greatly miss Keith Edward Whited, and our deepest and most sincere condolences go out to his wife, Stephanie, and his stepsons, Codey and Justin, and all of his friends on the railroad.
