RAPID CITY- Keith Robert Harrison, 48, Rapid City passed away at his home on Thursday, March 31, 2011 from a head injury he received in a recent fall. Keith was born June 2, 1962 in Rapid City, SD. to Clarence and Joan Harrison. Keith was the youngest of 5 children and insisted on keeping up with his older siblings. He learned to ski at a very early age as the entire family took turns looking after him at the Terry Peak Ski Area. He never wanted to hold anybody back so you can imagine his parents' surprise when they spotted him following his oldest brother down an advanced run at an early age. Keith also loved the family weekends, camping and boating at Angostura Reservoir. He enjoyed sports in his high school years including basketball, baseball, bicycling, motorcycling, and as a young man played slow-pitch softball. Keith attended Rapid City Schools and graduated from Stevens High School in 1981. He also attended the Lake Area Technical Institute in Watertown, SD., where he studied machining. While growing up, he worked alongside his father in the family construction business, Rapid Plumbing Company. He was an extremely hard worker and attained the level of journeyman plumber. Keith was also a talented furniture maker, designing and building numerous end tables with intricate features. He was always happiest when he was knee-deep in one of his many projects or when he was helping friends with their projects. Keith had a big heart and was always willing to help. Parking his little Airstream Trailer at some remote part of the Black Hills, and riding his 4-wheeler also gave him great pleasure. Keith really loved the Hills! Thankful for sharing his life are his mother, Joan Harrison; his sister Jeanne Hefel (Bob); his brother Kenny Harrison (Laura); his brother David Harrison (Barb); and his dear friend Marlene Winieckie. Keith was preceded in death by his father, Clarence (Junior) Harrison and his brother, Bruce Harrison. A Memorial Service will be held Friday, April 8, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. at Osheim & Schmidt Funeral Home with Rev. Pat Karn officiating. A lunch will follow after the service. A private family Inurnment will be scheduled at a later date. Memorials have been established for the Humane Society of the Black Hills or The Corner Stone Rescue Mission.
