If you have not heard, Keith Alan Enstrom, went home to be with Jesus yesterday.

Lift his wife and two daughters up in prayer, because they are hurting right now, and will be for some time to come.

I just got off the phone after talking with Keith's wife Lynn. We spent about a half hour talking, and we prayed.

Keith was with his wife when he went to be with the Lord.

Lynn would like me to pass along her appreaciation and thanks for all of your prayers, emails and phone calls. They have been a tremendous blessing to Keith, her and the children.

When the time is right, she will have something to share with us. I urged her to wait till she knew the time was right, and not to feel like she "has" too.

Lynn and I rejoiced knowing that we will one day stand alongside Keith, lifting our hands and voices in Praise and Worship of Our Lord and King Jesus!

Please keep Lynn and her daughters in prayer.

Stephen

I posted this link earlier in the prayer forum Stephen.
Seems Keith was well known and supported over at the Fender Forum


Fender Forum: Keith's passing (http://www.fenderforum.com/forum.html?db=&topic_number=592121&offset=260)

webmaster edit: I shortened the link. Thank you jazzratt for the link

I have a hard time holding back my tears at work today. I talked to Keith a couple of times whilst his health declined. I never knew what to say to him, but I hoped that I said the right things. I am deeply sorrowed by his passing. Yet, I am comforted in knowing that Keith was amoung God's favored. Keith shared his gift of music selflessly - just the way God intended. He also told me of his deep concern of the wellfare for his wife and daughters - he deeply loved and appreciated them.

May God's Kingdom welcome you and rejoice at your arrival.

Same here. I would be honored to pray for his family.

I read about this in our prayer area, followed the link to Fender forum and read all the posts over there. Very sad news, especially for his family, but it's good to know that he's with the Lord.

The picture makes it a bit more personal. Makes me feel like I could've known Keith, too. Thanks, reverbbb.

I'll be praying.

[Jaybo]

It was nice to see on the Fender forum how his life touched so many, and how people were coming forward with offers of prayer.

Will keep his fam. in my prayers.

Is the family okay? Do they need anything?

Is the family okay? Do they need anything?

I do not know what if any needs there may be, but I'm sure there must be. The FDP set up a memorial fund. I got this from there site:

Memorial Information:

Paypal: keithenstrom@gmail.com

Keith Enstrom Benefit Fund
c/o The National Bank
1300 John Deere Expressway
Silvis, IL 61282
(The National Bank phone number is (309) 752-9280 if you have any questions)

Also, there is a link to an obituary by the mortuary:

Keith Alan Enstrom 1963-2006 (http://esterdahlmortuary.com/obit-display.jhtml?DB=update/obits/dbase&DO=display&ID=1160594931_17327)

Lynn was telling me how the FDP threw a fundraiser for them last weekend. They attended, and Keith was overwhelmed by the support. Lynn said it really drained him, but he was glad to have gone, and got to meet alot of people face to face.

I just noticed, he and my little brother are less than a month apart in age. When I look at his photo, he makes me think of my brother too. Gonna miss you Keith, but I wish I was where you are, looking into the very eyes of my Lord.

Aloha - I'm Mark From Hawaii and a member of the FDP. Now I'm a member here. Keith probably didn't know how much he witnessed for the Lord in the noble way he fought cancer until his last breath. I am totally honored to have known him here in this world, albeit virtually through the Internet. He showed how a true believer keeps faith in Christ Jesus even in the most trying and painful circumstances. The Lord is always there. I'm reminded of Casting Corwns' tune "Praise You in This Storm"! May the Lord give his wife and 2 daughters the faith, strength, and courage to go on in the Lord. God Bless you Keith, I hope to meet you someday.

...May God's Kingdom welcome you and rejoice at your arrival.

Our God is an awsome God.
His Comforter to the family, I pray. Amen.

[Ravindave_3600]

Mark-in-Hawaii, welcome and thanks for that testimony. Sorry your arrival isn't under happier circumstances.

[kewlpack]

Blessings to the family. Praise to the Lord. Comfort to all!
