Kelley Wentworth was on seasons 29 and 31 alongside Nale. She celebrated his life on Twitter: “Keith - a man with the purest heart, who brought humor into moments where it was needed most. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to meet Keith & share memories together on the beaches of Nicaragua & Cambodia. My heart is with the entire Nale family. This is a devastating loss.”

An underdog from the beginning, Keith struggled with the strategic component of the game and with the misfit role to which his folksy personality initially relegated him in San Juan del Sur. He never became a core member of any long-term alliance, and was targeted often after the merge. However, he managed to make it all the way to the final four thanks to his skill in Immunity Challenges and a keen opportunistic streak, which enabled him to operate as a mercenary vote between opposing alliances. Keith fell one day short of the Final Tribal Council after eventual winner Natalie Anderson convinced Jaclyn Schultz that he was the most urgent threat to win. Returning for Cambodia, Keith played a similar, though slightly more collaborative game, and participated in the majority Bayon Alliance for a while. However, after his seeming strategic inattentiveness earned him the neglect of his allies, he eventually changed his allegiance to the Witches' Coven alliance. Thus, his easy-going nature and low-key opportunism carried him deep into the game once again. He was eliminated just two days before the Final Tribal Council, after Kelley Wentworth, the majority's principal target, won immunity.
