Keith L. Morrissey went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on March 13, 2024.

Keith was born March 31, 1948 in Perth Australia.  At the age of 17 he joined the Australian Navy and was part of the elite force, the Special Landing Party (SLP). During his time with the Navy, Keith fought in the Vietnam War. After his time with the Navy, in 1970, Keith went to Bible college in Perth, AU, where he met his wife and lifelong partner, Pamela D. Morrissey, who passed away in 2017.  After Bible college, Keith and Pam moved to Pam’s hometown of Caldwell, Idaho, where they had their first child, Alexis, in 1975. Keith then served a term of service with the US Airforce and was stationed in Las Vegas, NV, where they had their two other children, Adam (1977), and Amanda (1980). In 1982 Keith achieved his Masters in Psychology. While in Las Vegas he was a therapist and professor of psychology at the community college. Keith was heavily involved in both homeless and prison ministries, and also served as a chaplain for the Las Vegas Police Department.

In 2001 Keith and Pam settled in Lincoln, NE, to be closer to their grandchildren. While in Lincoln, Keith continued to work as a therapist.  Keith continued to actively work with the local homeless community and prison ministries in Lincoln, and also served as Elder at F Street Neighborhood Church. During their time in Lincoln, Keith and Pam were foster parents to several children in transition.
