On Wednesday, November 23, 2022, our beloved Keith Adaire Setliff, 72, of Cool Ridge left this earthly home for heaven.
Born in Beckley, WV on February 2, 1950, he was a graduate of Shady Spring High School. After graduating, he joined the Army and was a Vietnam veteran.
After working 40+ years mining coal and making many lifelong friends, “Rooster” retired in 2016, having last worked for Alpha Natural Resources. He enjoyed his retirement, although grandkids and honey-do lists kept him busier than ever. He loved to watch his grandkids play ball, tinker in his garage, and always had a project going on with extra hands “helping Pop.” He enjoyed time spent with fellow veterans at the Vet Center every Thursday. He was a Christian who loved the Lord with his whole heart.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Susan, whom he adored, six brothers, two sisters, and one infant son.
He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Anita “Sis”, daughters, Rachel (David) Quesenberry, Hannah Smith, Shawna (George) Sledge, Lerenda Marek, Precious and Lynsey Setliff, and sons, Stephen and Aaron (Andi) Setliff. He was the much loved “Poppy” to Hunter, Grace, Karlie, Micah, Jase, Luke, Madix, Erica, Matthew, Mary, Brandon, Zachary, Shane, Bobby Ray, and 1 great-granddaughter, Iris. Sisters, Claire, Carol, Mary, Becky, Dorcas and brothers, Orville, Buddy, and David.
He will forever be loved and missed. “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,” Philippians 1:3.
