Keith passed away peacefully at Hazeldean Gardens Residence on Sunday, February 8, 2026, surrounded by his family at the age of 92 (1933-2026). Keith will be dearly missed by his beloved wife Ruth (nee Hicks) of 68 years. Loving father of Terry (Nancy) and Barry (Maxine). Proud grandfather of Greg (Abby), Geoff (Meghan), Jake (Jasmine), Rebecca and Connor. Great grandfather to Aria, Elodie, Brookyln, Laken and Layla.

Born on October 9, 1933, on the same farm that he never left, he dedicated his life to family and public service. Keith was a retired Fire Chief for the Nepean Fire Department with 36 years of service. Keith also had a love of farming which kept him in the tractor seat right up to this past October.
