Our dearest and loving husband and father, Keith Middleton passed away at home on April 22nd, 2026. A man of outstanding integrity, he lived a good life until 94, but we were not yet ready to say good-bye. Keith was born in Seattle, WA. in 1931 to Muriel Prichard and Keith Middleton Sr., the second of three children. In 1947, the family moved to Vancouver, BC, where he was educated at McGee High School and UBC, pursuing Engineering and Commerce. After receiving his B.Com., he started his career as a navigator in the Royal Canadian Air Force, a job which would take him across the country many times. Keith later moved into private industry to work for DuPont of Canada in Montreal, where he met his true love, Teresa, at the Pointe Claire Yacht Club. Boats were his passion, even building the one on which they raced. Marrying in 1965, Keith and Teresa had four children and eventually picked up the family and moved “back” to the west coast. Arriving in Victoria, he began working for Trident Aircraft, later known as Viking Air, completing a long and distinguished career as CFO. A devoted husband and father, Keith was wonderfully kind and gentle, and highly respected in both his personal and professional life. In his younger years, he was an active sailor and loved the water, as well as being an accomplished skier. All these skills, and so many more, he passed on to his four children for whom he was a guiding beacon. He will be missed more than we can say. He was predeceased by two beautiful children, (Keith) Andrew Middleton and Elizabeth Middleton-Jones, his sister Diana MacGregor and brother, Arthur Gilman (Gil) Middleton. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Teresa, daughters Annemarie and Christina, sons-in-law Adam Gerber and Justin Jones, and two grandchildren, Ella and Cameron Jones.
Embrace our two departed children when you see them, my darling. Til we meet again, dear heart.
A Mass of Christian Burial and Reception will be held at St. Patrick’s Parish, 2060 Haultain Street, Victoria, BC on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 2:00pm. Interment at Ross Bay Cemetery.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Mrs. Middleton & family: please accept my sincere condolences in the passing of Keith. I had the pleasure & experience of working with Keith for a number of years at both Trident & Viking. Keith was very kind, pleasant and easy to work with, also, a very fine,fair and knowledgeable supervisor. I know he will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Dear Middleton family, With a heavy heart I send you my thoughts for Keith. He was a kind, generous man, a loving man who lived a life of purpose. We say “May his memory be a blessing” but I add, ” let his life and his deeds be a blessing to everyone he knew and loved”. I know Harvey would have joined me in all this. He so enjoyed knowing Keith.
With love for you and good memories,
Jean and Family.
