Many prayers of comfort and peace from the Butch Linder Family
So sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time. I enjoyed my time working with Keith, he was a good man.
Keith has been one of my best and closest friends since we first worked in the LRPD Detective Office in 1976. He was a Groomsman in my wedding in 1981. His death has left a void that can never be filled. “You’ve run the race and finished the course “. I’ll see you on the other side Brother.
My condolences and prayers to Keith’s family. His loss will be felt by many.

Keith Rounsavall was a Police Officer’s Police Officer.
He was very good at it.
I learned very much from him that I still draw upon thirty-three years later.
If you were a criminal, he’s the last one you wanted on your case.
I became friends with him in 1990, and remained a friend up until he passed.
I will miss having him to call upon for help or advice.
