Heaven gained an extraordinary man January 17, 2016. Keith Myron Krisher of Benton City, 56, passed away suddenly Sunday morning following a massive heart attack. Keith was born in Renton, Washington to Anita Jo Krisher Shoop and Myron Gladwyn Krisher. He was a graduate from Richland High School, and went on to complete four years in the electrical apprenticeship through IBEW local 112 in 1980. He continued his career as a journeyman electrician with a license in Oregon and Washington. He joined local 77 in 2005 when he became a maintenance electrician at Battelle.

He married his one and only love, Debbie Krisher in 1979, where they began their beautiful fulfilling life in Benton City, raising their son Cody Krisher and daughter Cassie Krisher. Keith spent much of his life involved in rodeo, raising farm animals and working hard for his family. As the years passed by, Keith and his wife became members of the Old Timers Rodeo club and later dropped that hobby to become avid mediocre golfing partners. They spent many weekends away in their trailer golfing with friends, riding bikes and loving life. Perhaps most importantly though, was spending as much quality time with their kids and grandkids as time allowed.

Keith is survived by his wife of 36 years, Debbie Joan Krisher, son Cody Keith Krisher and wife Kelli Jo Krisher of Benton City. His daughter Cassie K’dean Krisher and husband Aaron Daniel Miller, of Rochester, Washington. Grandchildren Triniti Jo Krisher, Branton Cody Krisher, Easton Daniel Miller and Logan Keith Miller.  Sister Kay Lawson, husband Pat Lawson, brother Kraig Krisher, wife Debbi Krisher, brother-in-law Doug Hunt, significant other Liz Engelke and mother-in-law Jeanette Hunt. Along with nieces and nephews he loved very much. He is preceded in death by father Myron Krisher, mother Anita Shoop Krisher and father in law Larry Hunt.

Services will be held Friday January 22^nd at 4:00 PM at Einan’s at Sunset Event Center. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations can be made to two of Keith’s favorite organizations.
