Keith loved his family deeply and never missed an invitation to join them. The stories of trips shared together always brought laughter, even when they were repeated many times. Keith was close to his son Kaleb and he often stated what a blessing Kaleb was in his life. They had lots of adventures together from paint balling, to riding ATVs in Mexico, to hikes up Mt. Finlayson. He was very proud of his son.
Keith had a curious mind, and he gathered knowledge from many sources. He could hold a serious conversation on the wonders of the universe and on the best way to care for your lawn. From his early days of helping Nana Mary in her garden, to building his own Property Management business, Keith was meticulous in his work. He took pride in a job well done. He developed deep and meaningful relationships with many of his long-time clients. They were like extended family to him.
Keith had a true appreciation of art and music. He also loved nature. He sailed through the beautiful channels up to Desolation Sound on his dad’s sailboat. He and his pals explored the back country on their dirt bikes in his younger years. In recent years, he often hiked around Thetis Lake with family members.
Keith will be greatly missed but we will hold his gentle spirit in our hearts & remember all the happy times we shared together.
A gathering to honour Keith will be held at Goward House, 2495 Arbutus Road, Victoria BC on July 5th, 2026, at 1:00pm.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Keith was not just a gardener, he was a friend. I am sure most of his customers felt the same way. I looked forward to his arrival to cut the grass and to share a chat. He took pride in his work and did a meticulous job. I shall miss him.
