About Keith Warner
During his lifetime , White Bear Lake resident Keith Warner won numerous awards for his outstanding commitment to community service . The Mayor of White Bear Lake declared Nov . 25 , 2013 , as “ Keith Warner Day ,” just two weeks before he died of brain cancer at the age of 78 .
After retiring from the banking and milling industries , Warner served as the VHEDC ’ s executive director from 2008 to 2013 . He is credited with transforming VHEDC ’ s organizational focus from “ Open for Business ” to “ Taking Care of Business .”
“ Keith was a master organizer and brought people together , dialing down objectives and transforming people ’ s ideas to get things done . He was a bulldog — persistent until you said yes — and then he hand-picked people to make it happen ,” said former Vadnais Heights City Administrator Gerry Urban .
Before he got sick , Keith Warner and his wife , Patty , co-founded the Relay for Life event in White Bear Lake in remembrance of their daughter , Lori , who they lost to colon cancer .

“ The annual golf tournament is VHEDC ’ s biggest fundraising event of the year . Not only that , it offers great networking opportunities for businesses around the area , plus a great time to get out and enjoy the summer weather , catch up with people you don ’ t normally see all that often , and participation is a good way to market your business ,” said Dohmen .
