Keith and Sarita Morris were the proud parents of one adorable daughter, the late Ariel Maria St. Etienne.

Keith was a very proud dad who enjoyed being a major part of his daughter’s everyday life, including school and extracurricular activities.

He was also a SUPER Saints Fan, an avid jogger who participated in races for many years, a Young & the Restless groupie and he loved interacting with everyone… family, friends and strangers. Keith will be remembered for his sense of humor, his great smile, good heart, strong will and that deep, loud laugh!
