Kenneth Keith Moreland

Kenneth Keith Moreland, 59, passed away surrounded by his family on February 25, 2022 in Victoria, Texas.

Keith was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma to Larry and Kay Moreland on July 30th, 1962. He graduated from Hobbs High School in Hobbs, NM where he met his beautiful wife, Lori, and his life was changed forever. They were then married on October 10, 1981, and shared over 40 years of marriage. He was always proud of his family and the life that they had created together.

He began his career by turning wrenches for his uncle, gaining experience that eventually led to a position as a natural gas compressor mechanic for Contract Compression Inc. He worked hard and moved his family throughout Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. He retired from CDM Resource Management as the Emissions Manager but later returned to work in the emissions department at Archrock.

He worked hard his whole life to have his own place to raise cows and spend time with family. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, drag racing the neighbors, and keeping his cows in the fence...with limited success. Most of all Keith was a family man. He provided us with a great life and we are so grateful. We will miss his belly laugh, his strong opinions, his big hugs, and his unconditional love for us all.

He is survived by his wife, Lori Moreland, his three children and spouses, Kendra and Jason Burnside, Kyle and Rikki Moreland, and Kayla and Denver Saski, bonus son, Ryan Ripps as well as six grandchildren Aubree, Brielle, Aislyn, Zaylie, Kason, and Maci. He is also survived by his siblings, Kendall and Barbara Moreland and their son Kane, Kirk and Billie Robertson and their children Shannon and C.K., and Tammy Thomas and her son, Chase. As well as his Aunt Phyllis Adams and husband Ollie, Aunt Pam and husband Steve, Uncle Randy Craft and wife Peggy, Uncle Terry Craft and wife Karla, Tom Waller and numerous cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Larry and Kay Moreland, and his sister Dian Moreland.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, March 4, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at Swearingen Funeral Home Chapel in Seminole, Oklahoma.  Burial will follow at Little Cemetery.
