From Annette Cannon: R.I.P. to my long time friend Keith Rouse (of the Fabulous Boogienauts). I am in shock at hearing the news. Please send prayers to his beautiful wife, kids, and family. He was a big part of our music community and one of my former co workers.

From the GoFundMe page organized by Stan Zapor:
Keith Rouse was a son, a brother, a husband, a father, and a good friend to so many people.
His untimely passing has left his family and friends devastated, and struggling emotionally as well as financially.
Jennifer, Jada, and Jaz need our help with expenses for Keith’s funeral and memorial, as well as counseling and other expenses.
I know times are tight for many of us, but anything will help right now. ~ Stan
