Keith J. Reeg was born April 7, 1927, in Madison, Nebraska, to John Phillip and B. LaVerna (Thomazin) Reeg. He attended school in Genoa and graduated from Genoa High School in 1944. He entered the U. S. Army on July 26, 1951, and served in Korea. He was honorably discharged on July 15, 1953.

On November 18, 1956, Keith was united in marriage to Rosalie Ann Hinrichs at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Glenvil, Nebraska. Keith farmed most of his life in rural Genoa and also worked at Lindsay Manufacturing and B.D. in Columbus. In 2006 they moved from their farm into Genoa.

Keith was a member of Augustana Lutheran Church in Genoa, and the American Legion. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, reading, playing cards, and family fishing trips to Minnesota. He was an avid Nebraska football fan and St. Louis Cardinal Baseball fan. Most of all, he enjoyed his family, especially his grandkids and great grandkids. He was a faithful fan of all their activities and when he was no longer able to be there in person, you could be sure he was watching online whenever possible. Keith was the last of the "Reeg cousins."
