Keith W. Volk
Keith W. Volk passed
away on December 19,
2020 in Palm Springs, CA.
Keith lived both in Palm
Springs and Kihei, Maui,
HI at the time of his
death.
Keith was the fourth
child born to Lena and
Herman Volk in Rugby
ND in September 1953.
Keith is survived by
family he deeply cared
about – siblings Shirley
Lemmex of Colorado, Karl
Volk of Nevada, Kim Volk
(Karla) of California, Sue
Volk of Nevada, Shelly
Thoreson (William) of
Minnesota, Kurt Volk of
California and Kerry Volk
of Hawaii as well as
numerous nieces,
nephews, aunts, uncles
and cousins who love
him. He is predeceased
by his parents Lena and
Herman Volk and broth-
ers Ken and Kelly.
Keith graduated from
Rugby High School and
worked at Bickler’s Jack
and Jill, Red Owl Super-
market and Crooks Lanes
and Lounge in Rugby, ND
prior to moving to Cali-
fornia. With his en-
trepreneurial spirit, Keith
was self-employed and
built KV Paint and
Decorating to a thriving
business in Beaumont,
CA. Keith was a member
of the Lions Club of Beau-
mont. Following his re-
tirement in 2014, Keith
continued with his pro-
perty management busi-
ness and vacation rentals
of his oceanfront homes
in Maui, Hawaii where he
cared for guests and treat-
ed them like family.
Keith lived for his daily
swims and long walks
where he would strike up
conversations with any-
one he met. He loved a
good story, but if the Los
Angeles Lakers were play-
ing a game, storytelling
was only allowed during
commercials! Keith will
be remembered for his
generosity to his family
and friends, his intense
work ethic, wry smile,
caustic sense of humor
and his enjoyment of life!
There will be no funeral
services per his wishes. A
celebration of life will be
organized by his family.
