Following graduation, the Webers moved to Kansas City where Keith started his Real Estate career which took them to Dallas where he became one of the Vice Presidents of Redman Development Corporation. The Webers moved back to Kansas City in 1972 and Keith founded Midland Properties, Inc. which developed and managed apartment properties starting in Kansas and Missouri and evolved nationally. In 1991, Keith, together with his business partner, founded Midland Loan Services which became one of the nation’s largest servicers of commercial loans.
Throughout his life, Keith loved sports, especially golf. He made time to play regularly enjoying the outdoors and the fellowship of his friends, but most of all he loved spending time with his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He will be incredibly missed but never forgotten.
