He graduated from Scribner High School in 1969 and joined the Army Reserves for 6 years. He started out farming alongside his father and brothers and eventually established his own farm, one of his proudest accomplishments.
On March 10, 1973, he married Constance Erickson of Oakland. Together they proudly raised four children: Julie Diane, Michael Keith, Daniel Eric, and Angela Jean, and for the past 21 years have cherished their role as grandparents.
Keith took great pride in his farm work, hometown community, spending time with his siblings, and getting cuddles from his grandchildren. He was happy to offer combine and tractor rides to his young helpers during harvest and to share the sweet corn he grew with eager little eaters. He also enjoyed playing cards, fishing, spending time at the cabin he built with his family, watching TV, and trying new food. He was always a happy customer when his kids would try out a new recipe or cook an old favorite on the grill or smoker. He enjoyed the farming community and reveled in opportunities to talk about crops and trucking with his friends, neighbors, and family. He remained devoted to his community by serving on the District 83 School Board and the St. Paul Lutheran Church Council and Endowment Committee.
He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Connie; their children and spouses, Julie and Brian Wilson of Gretna, Mike and Stacy Hasemann of Lincoln, Dan Hasemann of North Bend, and Angie and Christopher Bayliss of Charlottesville, VA; and their 8 grandchildren, Carissa Wilson, Serena Wilson, Garrick Wilson, Kendal Hasemann, Isaac Hasemann, Ty Hasemann, Brendyn Hasemann, and Monroe Bayliss.
He is also survived by his 4 siblings and their spouses, Carroll and Mary Hasemann of Scribner, Kevin and Diane Hasemann of Scribner, Kenny and Sandy Hasemann of North Bend, and Lisa and John Stockamp of Scribner; 6 sisters-in-law and their spouses, Gloria Erickson of Omaha, Jeanette Keogh of Oakland, Barb and Mark Rippe of Auburn, Elly and Phil Nawrocki of Mesa, AZ, Donna Bristol and Gregg Sedlacek of Lincoln, and Val and Jim Kwasniewski of Gretna; as well as a multitude of nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred Jr. and Gladys Hasemann; parents-in-law, Florence and Garland Erickson; sister-in-law Pat Hanselman; brothers-in-law Ron Keogh and Paul Hanselman; and niece Becky Paulsen.

Ames, IA Monday, October 5, 2020 Sending my sympathy to the Haseman family. I probably met Keith when we were 3-yr olds starting Sunday School at St Pauls. Through the years we grew up through church activities, confirmation, and high school. Even though life took me away from the community, every time that I was back and ran into Keith, it was a pleasure to reconnect--most recently at our 50th class reunion. He will be missed. May the support of family and friends bring you comfort and may your many loving memories heal your hearts.Karen White

Fremont, NE Saturday, October 3, 2020 Dear Hasemann families,I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, dad, grandpa,
brother, uncle ,friend. I worked at the Elkhorn Valley Villa. I had the pleasure in helping with the care of JR Hasemann. He raised some fine men. They would come every Sunday morning and usually a few times during the week to visit their father and mother. When they would visit we had some good times lots of laughs. I believe Keith will be with his mom and dad and what a wonderful reunion that will be in heaven. Keep all your good memories close to your heart and god bless you all during this sad time.
