by | Apr 20, 2026 | Obituaries

David Keith Sumrow, 74, of Allen, went to be with the Lord on Friday, April 10, 2026. He was born May 12, 1951, to Earl and Christine Ketron Sumrow.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Debra Sumrow; son Brandon Sumrow; brother Franklin Sumrow (Billie); sister Camille Miller; and several beloved nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister Elaine Sumrow.

Keith grew up on the family farm in Merit and graduated from Bland High School in 1969. On April 7, 1972, he married the love of his life, Debra Kemp, at Merit Methodist Church.

Keith worked many years in food distribution, furniture, and for the City of Allen before retiring in 2016. He later enjoyed building KD Farm on family land in Merit.

Keith loved Texas Rangers baseball, antique tractors, and the music of Elvis Presley and George Strait. He was known for remembering important dates and sports statistics. We praise God for Keith’s life and the blessing of knowing him.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, May 1, 2026, at Merit Baptist Church, with a reception following.
