CONROE FUNERAL DIRECTORS
Larry "Keith" Cormack born in Stuggart, Arkansas on November 24, 1964 passed away peacefully into the arms of our Lord on Thursday, January 25, 2024 at home with family by his side. He showed such strength and courage in his battle against cancer, he fought the good fight and was an inspiration to us all.
Keith was raised in Conroe and enjoyed all the benefits of small-town life. He lived in a tight-knit community, played outside till dusk, and experienced the true thrill of "Friday night lights" playing football at CHS. However, most importantly, it is where he met his lifelong friends.
Keith was a very friendly person who always had a desire to help others. He would spend hours talking to anyone who needed help, and he would be their friend. For him, helping people was like a calling. He deeply cared for his friends and family, especially his parents, with whom he shared a strong bond. He always made sure that they knew how much he loved them. Seeing people happy was something that made him very happy too.
Keith had a great passion for honoring the military personnel who served our country. He had a genuine desire to serve and was an enthusiastic volunteer with Wreath's across America. For over 30 years, he was part of the Texas Chowboy's cook-off team in Montgomery County and had formed lifelong friendships with his teammates.
Keith was an amazing cook and loved to create, grow and share recipes with his family and friends, but he also enjoyed eating out. He was a Foodie before being a Foodie was cool! Every year Keith grew many varieties of tomatoes, mostly to give away, which gave him great joy to share the bounty of his garden.
Keith attended Sam Houston State University and then worked as a manager in several restaurants before becoming a Territory Sales Representative for North Houston/Conroe areas. He worked for Glazer for 13 years before joining Sysco. While working at Glazer, he became friends with the owners of a new restaurant called Tin Roof BBQ in Atascocita. Keith was always ready to help them in any way possible and was considered a "go-to" guy. Later in his career, he became a manager at the restaurant and continued to provide his ongoing support. Keith's last job was with Automatic LP Gas Co. in Conroe, where he worked until his illness. He greatly appreciated his time there.
Keith was preceded in death by his infant brother, George Michael Cormack; maternal grandparents, Johnnie and Margie Lane; paternal grandparents, Raymond and Gladys Cormack; Grandmother, Alice Cormack (his only great grandparent with whom he was so fond of) and numerous dear aunts, uncles, cousins and other family members.
He is survived by his loving family: Mother, Patsy Lucher (Danny Smith); Father, Larry Cormack and wife, Patti; sister, Penny Darlene Roberts; nephew, Gage L. Roberts and niece, Grace R. Roberts. Keith is also survived by many other dear aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and a host of caring friends.
In lieu of usual remembrances, the family suggests memorials to: St Jude-Children's Research hospital at www.StJude.org
