A graveside service will be Saturday, August 6, 2022 at 10:00 AM at Friendship Cemetery, Columbus MS with Lowndes Funeral Home directing.

He was born November 20, 1959, in Columbus, Mississippi to the late Robert Ed and Ann (Shelton) Ashcraft.  Keith graduated from Caldwell High School in 1977. He worked in outside sales for over 25 years. Mr. Ashcraft had a wonderful artistic ability which he applied to a small stained glass business when he was younger.  He loved to ride horses in his youth and shared that love with his own children.  He enjoyed cooking to entertain large crowds and for charity competitions such as Taste of the Oil Patch, which raised money for Truman Smith Children's Care Center. He also volunteered to cook for staff, contestants, and crew of the Gladewater Rodeo. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed an annual week-long fishing trip to Flipping, Arkansas with family and friends. Ever a generous spirit who would do anything for anybody, he will be greatly missed by many.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Ashcraft was preceded in death by his wife, Suzi Ashcraft; maternal grandparents, Boyd and Bea Shelton; and paternal grandparents, John Leland and Zella Mae Ashcraft.
