So when tragedy struck just six years after the two of them got married, nobody, not even Keith's closest friends and family, I'm talking nobody, saw it coming.
It was just after 6 a.m.
on November 9th, 2005, when that very panicked 911 call came through from a terrified woman in Texas.
And that woman was Darlene.
She told the operator that someone had broken into their home overnight and that they had shot her husband, Keith, while he was sleeping.
And through her crying and through her shaky breaths, she said, "'He has pink foam coming out of his mouth, and he's making this god-awful sound.'"
Which that detail alone, just chilling.
Darlene explained that she hadn't been in the couple's bedroom that night like she usually was.
Her boys had been having trouble sleeping, so she stayed with them in their room.
She said that everybody finally dozed off together, but when she woke up that morning, she found Keith, her husband, in bed, covered in blood.
The back door, she said, was open.
And all of Keith's guns?
Gone.
And whoever had done this could still be inside the house, armed with her husband's weapons.
So police raced over to the family's home, and when they arrived, they found a truly horrifying scene.
Keith was lying in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his head, yet he was somehow still alive, still barely holding on.
First responders rushed him to the hospital, but the outlook, I mean, it didn't look very good.
Doctors didn't even know if he was gonna make it through until the morning.
Meanwhile, officers started clearing the house.
They were looking for any sign of the intruder that Darlene had described.
