Keith Robert Larson's Obituary
On December 29, 2025 at 11:00PM at the UMD Baltimore Washington Medical Center at Glen Burnie’s hospice suite, a kind, gentle soul was called to join his Lord to live peacefully and pain-free for eternity. Keith battled spinal cancer heroically for more than a year and a half, many months longer than his doctors predicted. That dogged determination and will to live reflected his successes in life. He passed away surrounded by family.
Keith was born on March 7, 1966 in Northampton, Massachusetts and followed his parents, Bob and Jane Larson to Maryland where he made his home for the next 59 years, the last 22 in Annapolis Maryland.
Keith attended University Park School, Hyattville Junior High and then graduated from DeMatha High School where he played soccer. He then got a scholarship to Yorktowne Business where he attained an associate degree in business accounting. He attended adult education classes at the University of Maryland before spending 20 years as the accounting and human resource manager at Professional Records Storage, Inc. in Washington D.C.
Keith was an avid tennis player and a 22 year member of the Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC) in College Park where he played in matches, clinics, special events, tournaments and programs.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents Mrs. Barbara Larson Burtt (Cleveland, Tennessee), Dr. Robert D. and Mrs. Janet M. Cox (Worcester, Massachusetts) and an uncle Raymond E. Larson (Fort Lauderdale, Florida).
His beloved yellow lab “canine children” Sam, Max and Champ will be so happy to be reunited with their adoring and loving dad.
Keith leaves behind his mother, Jane Cox Larson, of Lewes, Delaware; his father, Robert F. Larson, and stepmother, Brenda S. Larson, of Annapolis, Maryland; and his brother, Kirk R. Larson, of Rehoboth, Delaware.

Cox, both of Snug Harbor, Washington; and Lisa A. Barthelson of Worcester, Massachusetts. He also leaves his cousin Amanda Cox of Boston, Massachusetts.
He leaves behind his uncles, William Ashley Burtt of Chiang Mai, Thailand; Robert D. Cox of Worcester, Massachusetts; Richard M. Cox of Snug Harbor, Washington; and Lawrence G. Wilson of Chardon, Ohio.
