Because he had such<br \/>\na spirit for life, and love of his family, he fought it every step of<br \/>\nthe way. He never gave up, his will to live and fight was so strong<br \/>\nthat I really believed he would win the battle, and at times it look<br \/>\nliked he had. His lovely wife Donna kept his friends and fellow artists<br \/>\naware of his ups and downs with a constant flow of emails. She is a<br \/>\nwonderful lady. I knew Keith for over twenty years. I met him when he<br \/>\nwas only 22 years old. Eventually I became to feel as if he was my<br \/>\nyounger brother. We were brothers at heart. We worked together at TSR<br \/>\nand later shared a studio as freelance illustrators. As we persued our<br \/>\ncareers, we moved to separate parts of the country but, through the<br \/>\nyears, we kept in touch and would see each other several times each<br \/>\nyear at conventions. We would have dinner and talk for hours, we grew<br \/>\neven closer as we got older. I always looked forward to our dinners,<br \/>\nand conversation. I watched his two sons grow into fine young men. He<br \/>\nwas a good, honest, man and a great artist. All my memories of Keith<br \/>\nare good. His death will be a great loss to all his family, friends,<br \/>\nand the art world. He leaves a void in our lives and in the world.<br \/>\nLarry Elmore<\/em>&quot;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<div align=\"left\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.drachenserver.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/news\/artists\/keith_parkinson_mountain.jpg\" hspace=\"6\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" border=\"0\" style=\"float: left;\" \/>  Tracy Hickman<\/strong> schrieb:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;<br \/>\n <em>I first met Keith back in the old days at TSR.

Keith&#8217;s wife<br \/>\nDonna has informed us that shortly after 4:00pm PST on Wednesday<br \/>\nOctober 26th Keith peacefully passed away, surrounded by his loving<br \/>\nfamily. Keith had been battling Leukemia for the past 16 months. Keith<br \/>\nfought the good fight every step of the way and at one point he had it<br \/>\nbeat. At that point, we all thought he was in the clear and we were<br \/>\neven talking about him attending Gen Con Indy 2006 to build up his<br \/>\nimmune system with all the lovely sights and smells that tend to rear<br \/>\nup at Gen Con. But it came back hard and in the end it was more than<br \/>\nhis body could handle.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.drachenserver.de\/wordpress\/\/wp-content\/images\/news\/artists\/keith_parkinson_portrait.jpg\" align=\"left\" title=\"\" alt=\"\"\/> I have just gotten off the phone with<br \/>\nLarry Elmore and we are both simply at a loss. We had both been in<br \/>\ntouch with Keith throughout the entire process and the many ups and<br \/>\ndowns that the past 16 months have thrown his way. Keith was the<br \/>\nyoungest member of the &quot;Fab Four&quot; from the TSR Glory Years and was<br \/>\nperhaps the most diverse with his many book covers and video game<br \/>\ncovers (Everquest was built around his artwork\/vision). Keith was one<br \/>\nsharp cat and simply just plain cool to talk with for hours with about<br \/>\na wide range of topics. Keith was such a trooper, he insisted on<br \/>\nsigning the Limited Edition Parkinson Masterworks Set # 2 boxes while<br \/>\nin the hospital. There was a top secret piece we were working on that<br \/>\nKeith really wanted to see produced in 2006 as a personal favor. We<br \/>\njumped on it early to lift his spirits (unknown to Keith) , but as fate<br \/>\nwould have it, Keith never did get to see Mr. Gringe Commander in its<br \/>\n&quot;fully sculpted Tom Meier glory&quot; or the new Northwatch piece from Dave<br \/>\nSummers&#8230;Until Wed October 26th sometime after 4:00 pm PST that<br \/>\nis&#8230;.So the next time it is appropriate, please lift your glasses and<br \/>\ntoast one of the all time greats and his most excellent family&#8230; <\/em>&quot;\n   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keith Parkinson ist von uns gegangen.
