Grand Prairie, Texas – Keith Douglas Roane, 39 , passed away Friday, March 31, 2023.
Keith worked for Valle Security in the Arlington Texas office as a Sales Representative working on new business. He loved his job and his company loved his contributions.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in Marketing (business) from University of Texas in Arlington, and had finally found a sweet spot that allowed him to use his education with the Valle Security people. He had also completed a paralegal certification program some years earlier and was working towards a Texas security permit for carrying a firearm during events. Prior to this, Keith spent four years with the Collection Recovery Bureau (CRB) in Dallas.
Keith had several hobbies. He enjoyed being a DJ in his twenties, and dearly loved EDM music. He attended quite a few festivals, his favorite being Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Las Vegas. He was very much a car guy, and went through quite a few cars during his younger years. He liked to cook at home for himself and his family, he often made great jalapeno poppers and elotes.
Keith fancied himself as an internet lawyer, and never hesitated to engage and question things. He loved a roaring fire. He enjoyed making them at his family’s Lake Fork property and at home in his backyard. He was also a very engaging individual and a good friend to have.
He is preceded in death by his brother Kevin Roane, grandparents Keith and Ann Bowman, Lloyd S Roane and Lynn Iris Moore, and Uncle Keith L Bowman.
He is survived by his Mother Patricia Sue, Father Lloyd Douglas, Daughter Annalee Gail, Son Levi Lonnie, Aunts and Uncles RaeAnne and Mike Vancamp,
John and Carol Bowman, Robbie and Jamie Bowman, Kari Kay Bowman, Cousins Darcey Vancamp, Erin Crawford, Gunner and TJ Bowman, Jordan, Sammy and Rylee Bowman, Cailey Vancamp, Adriane Stalworth and Marcus Lunski.
Go rest high on that mountain, son your work on earth is done. You will be missed forever in our hearts.
A Celebration of Keith’s Life will be held at the Roane residence, 2856 Meade Drive in Grand Prairie, Texas, Saturday April 29, starting at 3 PM.

Keith was an awesome neighbor and very smart young man. He was always offering a helping hand. He loved hanging out in the garage with my husband discussing cars. He will be missed.

Keith was always creative, I remember when he was about 4 years old he sold raffle tickets for $1 each for a peg board thing he made out of scrap wood couple nails and some rubber bands, we all bought several tickets and I was the lucky winner Hahaha. Good memories. Safe Journey buddy.

Although I did not know Keith personally, he sounds like someone I would have wanted to know. I’m not sure how a heart can be broken many times but my heart is breaking all over again for your family. Some things are impossible to understand. Please know I’m holding all of you close in my thoughts and prayers.
