Jones says Keith was snowmobiling with two other men on Drury Lake on Jan. 28 when he and another man rode into open water.
The other man was able to get back to the surface.
Jones says Keith’s family has indicated he was passionate about hunting and guiding, and was working with a local outfitting company at the time of the accident.
