Keith Loren Fenderson, age 52, passed away on Wednesday, November 9, 2016 at Ascension All Saints Hospital in Racine, WI.  Keith was born on April 29, 1964 to Shirley White-Johnson and Johnnie Fenderson, Sr in Racine, WI. He was a 1982 graduate of William Horlick High School and the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point. Keith served his country in the United States Army. Up until the time of his death, Keith worked as a supervisor with the Violence Free Zone (aka VFZ).  He was very passionate about this job as he loved working with children and young people. He also worked at 21st Century School.

Keith loved and enjoyed playing basketball. He was an amazing shooter. He was an avid bowler, bowling 300 games all over the city. He enjoyed writing plays and if you ever attended one they were pretty funny. If you were fortunate enough to be in one of his plays, you had fun with him in rehearsal. He had a great sense of humor and was a man of great character and integrity. If you were having a bad day or felt down, he had a way of getting you to smile or to make you laugh so you felt better. He was one of a kind and had much love for everyone he came in contact with.

He leaves to cherish his memories, the mother of his children, Karlos Bland, sons LaVontay (Markisa) Fenderson, LaQuan (Ashley Christofferson) Fenderson, Daughter Latasha (Phillip Henley) Fenderson and grandchildren LaTrevion, Ta'Carvion, Layton and Marikay Fenderson and Dallas Henley.  His mother Shirley White – Johnson, father Johnnie (Florence) Fenderson, Sr., grandmother Velma Hardiman, brother Cember (Raquel) White, John Fenderson (Knoxville, TN), Yasmond Fenderson (Knoxville, TN), Johnnie (Yolanda) Fenderson (Tampa, FL) sister Johnetta Fenderson (Knoxville, TN), step-sisters and brothers – Margate (Mike) Sacotte, April (Arthell) Howell, Patricia (John) McNeal, Anthony (Diane) Johnson, David (Tina) Johnson and Mark Johnson.  He is further survived by his special niece, Rayna Graham, God children Jazmin, Jamil, Kamisha and Semaj Wilson. Mother-in-law Lillie Graham, sister-in-law Wanda Graham and brother-in-law Lee Graham, Remington Tucker who was like a daughter to him and a host of many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and friends.
