Robert ‘Keith’ Mann

Robert “Keith” Mann passed from this world on August 23, 2025.

He was born on Jan. 24, 1967, to Robert Earl Mann and Dianna Sue (Ott) Mann of Eufaula, Oklahoma.

Keith grew up as a farm kid, spending his early years with his sister and the neighbor kids doing everything from fishing to playing king of the mountain and hide-n-go-seek in the dark – always after chores were done.

He attended school in Checotah and Eufaula, where his childhood was filled with grit, laughter, and the kind of freedom only country life can offer.

As Keith entered his teen years, life grew

Jan. 24, 1967 – Aug. 23, 2025

more complicated. The choices became harder, and the road he walked was often steeped in struggle. He battled many internal evils and these chapters were difficult and while they shaped much of his adult life, they do not define the whole of it. Only Jesus can repair those kinds of choices, and we are hopeful that Keith found, Him.

Keith did not have many friends, but he was not without love. He is survived by his mother, Dianna Mann of Eufaula; his sister, Cindy Brock of Emmett, Idaho; his daughter, Kassandra Loe; his nieces: Bridgetta Solenya, Marcillene Witkowski, Montana Boldon and Dakota Hagan; two grandchildren and five great nieces and nephews.

He also leaves behind several aunts, uncles and cousins who remember him with compassion and care.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Earl Mann and his grandparents.

Keith’s life was not easy, but it was real. He mattered. He was loved. Now, may he rest in peace – free from the burdens he carried and embraced by the grace we all hope to find.

A private memorial will be held by the family at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you extend kindness to someone walking a difficult road – just as Keith did.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Hunn Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 211 W. Okmulgee Ave., Checotah, Oklahoma 74426.
