Keith Gordon Langerock was joyously welcomed into the world by Gordon and LouAnne Langerock on August 20,1960 in Monterey Park, California. He passed away on October 30, 2026 at home after a brief illness, surrounded by love and family.

Keith graduated from Central High School in St Joseph, Missouri and York College in York Nebraska. Keith inherited his love of being self-employed from his dad and sense of adventure from his mom. He learned the art of vinyl repair with his father and, at 16 he started his own vinyl repair and restaurant upholstery company. Known as the Vinyl Doctor, Keith celebrated 50+ years in service.

In 1982, he married the love of his life, Lyanne “Lee” Tillison. Together, they worked and traveled full-time before finding a permanent home base to expand their businesses and careers. In 2020, Keith and Lee moved to Albany, MO where they practiced semi-retirement, spent more time with family and friends, and enjoyed their time together relaxing on the back deck watching sunsets.

Keith’s #1 goal in life was happiness, for himself and those he loved. Known as a fun-loving and much-loved son, husband, brother, treasured Uncle Keith and valued friend. Keith wanted everyone to be happy. He would like that legacy to be continued.
