Keith was born in Edmonton to parents James and Ruth (née Danskin), grew up in McKernan, and attended Strathcona High School, where he excelled in track and swimming. He pursued studies in radiation therapy and nuclear medicine, which led to a career in health care management and radiation safety.
Keith enjoyed downhill skiing, camping, hiking, running, golfing, and took great pleasure in watching his daughters pursue athletic and mountain endeavours. He also enjoyed travel to the southern US, Hawaii, and Europe.
Keith is survived by his wife and best friend, Dianne (née Yaniw); daughters, Shannah (Troy Letwin) and Andrea; brothers, George (Wendy) Kingston and Jim (Joanne); brother-in-law, Phil (Carol Ann) Yaniw; sister-in-law Joanne Yaniw; and numerous nieces, nephews, and their families.
