Keith Stanley Loomis, an associate in the office of collegiate and student ministries at the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions (SBOM), died Nov. 12 after a five-year battle with cancer. He was 54.
Loomis received his education from Auburn University at Montgomery and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.
He served in youth and music ministry positions at Heritage Baptist Church, Montgomery; Redland Baptist Church, Wetumpka; and Terrace Acres Baptist Church, White Settlement, Texas. He also served as associate director for World Changers (formerly Brotherhood Commission in Memphis, Tenn.).
Rick Lance, executive director for SBOM, said, “Throughout his struggle and health challenges Keith was a consistent Christian witness who never lost the joy of the Lord. … To say that he will be missed is an understatement.”
Mike Nuss, SBOM director of the office of collegiate and student ministries, said, “Keith was incredibly passionate about reaching and discipling students — that was his life’s calling and he worked at it with his whole being.”
Loomis is survived by his wife, Kathy, and their three sons.
