Hello friends of my beloved brother Keith Menser. As many know by now we loss Keith 4 days ago due to his ongoing health issues. The world will never be the same without him. I still cannot believe he is no longer here just to talk to or even a text message. I am still in complete shock and I cannot even talk to anyone without having a complete meltdown still. I wanted to thank everyone who has reached out to say that they are sad as me and that they loved Keith Menser to. I will reply back to each and every person as soon as I get caught up with preparation for Keith's funeral on September 14, 2022 @ Marzullo Funeral Chapel located at 6009 Harford Rd Baltimore Maryland 21214. I have to make a Video memorial for my Little brother that will tear at my soul while doing it. But it needs to be done. I have 1,000s of photos of Keith from over the years by himself or with close friends in the photos. I also have Keith with Very well known Musicians that we all know and love. I will have to scan each picture and make a video/ movie type presentation. I will also add many songs and music Keith was involved with or loved him self. Keith had great taste in music as we all know. I did not want to do a " GO FUND ME PAGE" for Keith's funeral and cemetery expenses but he had No Life Insurance as many musicians do not as well when they leave this earth. We also have to pay his rent, Electric, Water bill at his house while we clean it out the next 2-3 months. If you want to help out with Keith's Funeral we would really appreciate it. Money is tight for many people and we understand if you cannot or would rather not. Any amount would help even a $1.00. I never thought I would ever do a page like this but these cost for funeral / cemetery and other bills caught us off guard to be honest and like most family's times are tight for us all. We thought Keith still had Funeral insurance but it seems he stopped paying it a few years ago or the insurance pulled his medical records and it was canceled because of his health problems. Please Never forget my Little Brother Keith Brian Menser November 15, 1966 - September 6, 2022. Rest In Peace Brother and Until We meet again I Love YOU MAN. https://www.gofundme.com/f/keith-menser ... are-flow-1

Hello friends, this has been the Very saddest week of my life. My name is Scott Menser, and I lost my Brother and Best Friend on September 6, 2022. He was Keith Brian Menser, and we have been Best Friends since he was born. Our parents separated when I was three years old, and Keith was born six months later to a world with No dad by his side. Our mother, Kay Menser, who we lost just three years ago on September 2, 2019, raised us by herself all of our lives and did an excellent job. We saw our father every other weekend, but it wasn't easy sometimes because he remarried two times, and both stepmothers had children from previous marriages. Our first stepmother, I believe to this day, just never liked us, and of course, we had been told we had ruined that marriage. I think we did our dad a favor because our second stepmother was indeed an Angel and took care of our very sick dad all by herself until he passed a few years back. When we lost our dad, my brother Keith and I were both sad, affecting us both. Our Dad had dementia, and he started to forget things, and over a few years, he just got worse. He woke up one day and could no longer talk. Not long after that, he was confined to a bed and was in a coma-like state with only his eyes open. He could not move or talk at all. Keith and I tried to visit, but our dad lived in Delmar, Maryland. So it was tough to see him as much as we wanted. I have a special needs son who will be 23 years old in a few weeks, and he still cannot talk and is still in Diapers.His severally Autistic and will never live on his own. And also making it difficult to visit our dad. About five years ago, our mother started showing signs of dementia, which worsened. She started falling to the ground and could no longer stand or walk. We had to place her in a nursing home for rehab, but she just went downhill from that point. We lost her three years ago, on September 2, 2019. This past Friday, September 2, 2022, I called Keith to remind him what day it was. He had forgotten and was so upset and heartbroken, and I believe it somehow affected Keith over this past week. This Tuesday, September 6, 2022, I could not reach Keith by phone or text.I was very concerned, so I raced to his house just like I had been doing so many times for the past 27 years.I found Keith alone in his bed; he was lying there, and I knew right then that something was wrong. I tried to wake him up, and it was just too late. I will not give details about Keith's final day on this earth, but it was not pleasant, and Keith did not have an easy passing. I am beyond Heart Broken and had to make Funeral arrangements yesterday on my 59th Birth Day. Also had to go to the cemetery to get that squared away too. My brother had many health issues for years and tried to keep them secret from others. He started having terrible life-threatening seizures about 27 years ago or about that time.Keith tried his best to live a normal life every day. He also battled depression and was a very lonely person. Things got much worse for Keith after we lost both of our parents. Last year he had seizures while working a few times, and I had to call 911. He was rushed to hospital and spent a few days each time. He went to the hospital five times by ambulance last year. Over the past 27 years, he had so many seizures we lost count. He had been in Comas 3 times, and doctors did not think he would make it. They said if he did, he might have severe brain damage. God was watching over him and did pull through; each time I witnessed Keith have worsening depression, I was beyond worried for my brother's life. My brother's memory was starting to get worse, and I knew something was wrong. He could seem normal to people who did not see or talk to him daily, but I could see he had memory loss. He never complained about all his health issues and just wanted to keep making music with his band Mystic-Force. He has been trying to finish a new Mystic-Force CD, and his current bandmates were working hard to finish it.Keith's deteriorating health made it hard for him to work on his music, but it was his love, life, and passion. I commented on a Facebook post about how many people would knock him and say VERY Hurtful things about him personally and musically. It crushed him and just threw him deeper into depression for weeks. He would slowly try to get back to his usual self and forget those hurtful posts on Facebook. Those posts have been removed since his passing; I had seen them and would never share those posts for anyone to see. Just to let you know to the people who did post this terrible stuff about Keith, he still LOVED YOU and forgave you before he passed. Sadly, Keith has also lost so many friends in the past few years, which also made him sad. Keith was also very sad about losing some of his best friends since High School, who turned their back on him when he needed them the most for support. Many friends just turned their backs on Keith; he was heartbroken, and again, " He Still Loved You." I want to thank all the awesome friends who stayed by Keith's side and had his back all these years. Keith was the absolute BEST Brother anyone could ask for. He was also one of the nicest people to his friends and even strangers. I was Keith's sidekick, and he was mine. I have been driving Keith to our shared Doctors office in Hunt Valley, Maryland, for many years. He had to have his blood checked every two weeks for his blood thinner levels. That was another health problem he had. We almost lost Keith two times from DVT Blood Clots in his Legs.
He was hospitalized two times for Very Large Blood clots in his legs, and pieces broke off and went to his heart. He spent nine days with his first DVT Blood Clot and 11 days in hospital the second time. His legs, from his knee down, were black and blue and had been very swollen every day of his life for the past 15 years. He wore compression socks to help with circulation and to hide his black and blue legs. His feet did not fit into his shoes on some days. He had to be in severe pain but never complained and Thanked God for every day he had left on this earth. Keith became very spiritual in the past 19 years and knew he would not live to be an older man. I would say nonsense bro. You have too many things left to do on this earth. But I was worried that this could happen if he had another bad seizure. I have raced over to his house so many times to find him having seizures, and I was able to save him and call 911. I feel like I failed to keep my little brother alive because I did not get there fast enough this time. It was just too late this time. I'm beyond crushed and so sad I cannot even put it in words. I cannot even talk to anyone now without a complete breakdown. I was in shock for the past four days and numb. Now it is Real, and he is never coming home. I will miss him working with me, which was part-time, but it was our time together. I would take him to the grocery store and bank to run errands, and he was upset and said he did not want to be a burden. We had thought Keith was seizure free for almost a year now, and he wanted to buy a car or van and try to be more independent. I did not want him to drive just yet because he had seizures three times over the years, and he totaled his cars and survived each time. I would drive him around for the rest of my life, knowing he would be safer. I will never forget how he looked when I found him four days ago. It will be etched in my head for the rest of my life. Keith had many medical bills in the past and used to pay over $675.00 monthly for health insurance and medications. He also had so many hospital bills that insurance would not pay. So Yes, he was like many musicians when he passed in debt. He had no life insurance and very little money. The money he did make working with me helped pay his bills each month, and I made sure. He was my helper, and mechanical work was just not his thing. He was more artistic with art and music. Keith just loved Life and everyone he had met over the years. I am shocked by how many people he knows and are reaching out and making contact with us from around the world. Keith was loved by so many people who he has touched. He was born to be a REAL ANGEL, and I believe God had big plans for him in Heaven. My wife just told me Keith is now at a Funeral home a few blocks away, and I want to go there now and Hug him and say how much I love you, man. My life will change without him and never be the same again. I'm beyond Heart Broken and never cried so much in my life this week and now as I write this. I have 1,000s of pictures of Keith sitting in front of me and now have to put together a video memorial for his Funeral Service next week. If you knew Keith well, you could see that he was just not well in the past few years. I did not want to do this Go Fund Me Page to help pay for Keith's funeral and cemetery expenses, but several friends told me I had to do this so they could help lay Keith to rest. After Keith's funeral, I will have to clean out his house, where he has lived for 38 years. Yes, he lived with our mother, and they shared the bills, which helped them both. Our mom moved out six years ago, and it became Keith's house with his roommate. All my mom's things are still there, and Keith's things. It will take me 2-3 months to clean out that house, and I will have to stop working for a while and give away my jobs to other contractors. I also will have to cover Keith's rent, electric, and water bills until I have everything out of his house. So paying for that and the funeral and the cemetery will add up. I also hope Keith's landlord will give me time to clean his house properly. It will take 2-3 months for sure. Keith and our mom both liked to hold on to things. Not hoarders, but not far from it. We will be donating so many things to charity. Furniture, clothes, books, etc. I will keep some little things my mother and brother had to give our 17-year-old son. He will be the one to keep our family name going into the future. Sorry, I had to say so much on this page about Keith and my family,, but it is somehow helping me get through this very Sad week. I also suffer from Depression, and I will not let this make me fall back into darker days. I gave up alcohol 4.7 years ago, and losing my dear brother like this unexpectedly could easily send me spiraling backward, and he would not want that. I have my wife and kids who depend on me to be a Great father and husband. I will miss seeing my little brother Keith, hanging out, and just being together. It had been five days since I saw my brother while he was still with us. I took a Pit beef sandwich to him on Monday night, and he Thanked Me for being a Great Brother and watching out for him. He would always say how proud he was of me being a great dad and husband. We texted back and forth Monday night, and that text will be the last text back from my little brother ever again on Sept. 6, 2022, @ 8:05 PM. I tried to text and call him on Tuesday to remind him about this week's work. He never replied, and I thought maybe he was recording as he did almost every day. I got concerned at 6:50 PM and had this feeling I could not explain. It was like a message from God or maybe my brother to go there now. I did, and I was just too late to save my brother's life. Please never forget my brother Keith Brian Menser and keep him close to your heart. We will celebrate his life and say our last goodbye on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, from 2-4 PM & 7-9 PM. The address is Marzullo Funeral Chapel, 6009 Harford Rd Baltimore, Maryland 21214. Parking will also be at the church across the street. Hope to see all Keith's friends who can make it out to say goodbye to Keith. We would appreciate any donations if you were interested in helping with Keith's Funeral Costs and Cemetary Costs. Again I did not want to do this, but many people said they wanted to help, and others may want to help too. Last Final words. Hug your family, kids, and friends and tell them you love them. Love yourself, your family, and friends and be kind to one another. Life is too Short for Hate and Love God. Rest in Peace, brother. I will always love you to the moon and back. Keith Menser R.I.P. November 15, 1966 - September 6, 2022. " FLY HIGH WITH THE ANGELS" You have earned Your Wings, Brother

Hello Friends I want to take a minute and Thank You all from the bottom of my Heart for helping with my brother Keith's funeral and cemetery expenses. I know each and everyone of you Loved my brother and I know he is looking down from Heaven with a smile on his face and no longer in pain. It is now 4 days since he left this earth. I cannot even keep my days straight and can barely function but I have to for my brother. He was my world and I miss so Damn Much. I have to correct the address for funeral Home as well. It is at Marzullo Funeral Chapel 6009 Harford Rd Baltimore Maryland 21214 on Wednesday September 14 from 2-4 PM & 7-9 PM . We had to go here because it is very close to our house and we have a 23 year old Autistic son who is nonverbal and will not be able to attend. We have to be close to home in case he has a break down and person who will be watching him can not handle him. Our mother was also at the same funeral home 3 years ago. Keith has lots of friends who live in the Hamilton & Parkville area who all liked to hang out at " The Shamrock Inn" & " The Holiday House" which are both so close to the funeral home. "The Shamrock Inn" was my brothers real life " CHEERS". I know he had so many great times at the Shamrock Inn and he will be missed by many who hang out there. I hope to see as many people who can make it to my brothers service so we can all send him home together. God Bless You all. Peace
