Donald Keith Plemons, 59, of Fort Worth, Texas, passed away on December 11, 2025. Keith was born on November 25, 1966, to Jerry and Gloria Plemons and spent his life grounded in family, hard work, and love for his children.

Keith moved to Azle, Texas, where he began school and quickly discovered his passion for sports, playing baseball and football. He graduated in 1985 and later became a wrestler, carrying with him the discipline and determination he learned through athletics. Keith was exceptionally smart, curious by nature, and had a lifelong love of learning.

He built a successful career as a manufacturing engineer, known for his dedication, problem-solving ability, and strong work ethic. Beyond his professional life, music was one of Keith’s greatest joys. He played guitar, sang, and deeply loved music in all its forms.

Above all, Keith loved his parents, his children, and his community, always giving his time, support, and heart to those around him. A devoted father, Keith coached all of his children in baseball and softball, never missing a chance to encourage them, teach life lessons, and be present for every milestone.

Keith is survived by his beloved children, Jess, Brody, Colton, and Danielle; his wife, Cynthia Plemons; his father, Jerry Plemons; his aunt, Darlene; and many cousins who loved him deeply. He was preceded in death by his mother, Gloria Plemons.

Keith will be remembered for his intelligence, kindness, steady presence, and unwavering commitment to family and community. His legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the lessons he taught, and the love he shared.

Keith’s life was one of purpose, passion, and deep love for others, and he will be profoundly missed.
