Personal life
Growing up in Roselle Park, New Jersey, Keith Loneker faced some personal obstacles that he worked hard to overcome for his entire life. In high school, while playing football, he endured a hip injury, for which doctors said he would never play any sports again. Loneker ignored the doctor and decided to work out intensely to rehabilitate himself. After two years being off, he stepped onto a football field once again. Loneker, although just happy to play again with his friends, ended up with a scholarship to the University of Kansas before long. In his spare time, he coaches little league football in Lawrence, Kansas. Has a daughter Kylee Loneker and a son Keith Loneker Jr
