Keith L. Tumey

Keith L. Tumey, of Louisville, Kentucky, formally of New Albany, Indiana, passed away on August 28, 2026, in Louisville, Kentucky, at the age of 57. He was born on July 22, 1969, in New Albany, and will be remembered as a man who enjoyed life to the fullest, was easygoing by nature, and truly valued the company of others.

Keith found satisfaction in working, and his favorite job was driving a forklift. He took pleasure in simple joys and the things that made life feel full and meaningful. He loved being outdoors, flying his drones, watching wrestling and sports, and cheering on U of L sports. He also loved long drives, finding enjoyment in the road ahead and the time to take in the world around him.

More than anything, Keith’s family and friends were his true joy. The time spent with them created lasting memories that will be cherished by all who knew and loved him. His warm spirit and relaxed way of being made him someone others enjoyed being around, and his presence brought comfort, laughter, and connection to those closest to him.

He is survived by his son, Matthew Brown; his brothers, Kenny Mitchem and Kevin Tumey, Sr.; and his nephew and nieces, Kevin Tumey, Jr., Tori Tumey, and Maranda Kenney. He was preceded in death by his father, Charles Roberts, and his mother, Charlotte Tumey. May those who loved Keith hold close the many moments they shared with him and find comfort in the memories that will remain for a lifetime.
