Keith Ray

Steinhour, Sr.

Keith Ray Steinhour, Sr., 65, of Blanchard, passed away unexpectedly, on September 24, 2026. The son of Ivan Paul Steinhour, Sr. and Donna Jean (Sulser) Steinhour, Keith was born in Galion, Ohio on February 6, 1961. He graduated from Arcadia High School in 1979.

Keith married Tracie Grove on August 29, 1992. Keith worked on the docks and as a truck driver for Consolidated Freight for 19 ½ years when they closed in 2002. He has worked as a manager at the Blanchard Lumber Yard for the last 24 years. Keith enjoyed doing remodeling and when he was a little younger, he loved fishing and boating. Keith was a talented guitar and dulcimer player. He also enjoyed riding his motorcycle with his F.A.I.T.H. Riders Chapter. 

Keith and Tracie have been members of Woodland Hills for the last 20 years. He worked with the DivorceCare ministry for a while after they first joined the church. Even though Keith seemed to have a hard shell on the outside, everyone will tell you he had a huge heart and loved big! He inspired many people. Keith was greatly loved by all his family. Family was important to Keith and he loved his kids and grandkids. He would literally do anything for his granddaughters. Even though the family knows Keith is with the Lord, his passing will leave them with a broken family chain. He will be greatly missed until that chain is once more connected one day.

Keith is preceded in death by his father, Ivan Paul Steinhour, Sr. ; brother, Ivan Paul Steinhour, Jr.; grandparents, Raymond and Alfreda Sulser; and mother-in-law, Marian Sue Grove.
