Keith McKinnon

Keith McKinnon, born in Brampton, Ontario to Norman and Zebbie McKinnon, passed away peacefully in his sleep earlier this year. A gentle and loving soul, Keith touched the lives of many with his kindness, quiet strength, and warm heart.

Keith was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Diane, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and partnership. He was also predeceased by his son, Mark, and his brothers, Cliff and Ken. He is survived by his son Kevin (Jill), who will carry his father’s memory with him always.

Though life brought him deep losses, Keith faced each one with resilience, grace, and enduring care for those around him.

Keith was a devoted father who delighted in watching his sons play hockey and baseball. He was a constant presence at their games, cheering, supporting, and celebrating their efforts with great pride. His love for the Hockey rink and Baseball field extended beyond the stands, as he also sharpened skates on the side, lending his skill to local players and friends.

He will be remembered as a loving, kind, and steady presence. A man whose gentle nature made the world around him a little brighter. He will be deeply missed, those who knew him, please find comfort in the memories and love he leaves behind.

Private family arrangements have been entrusted to Benner Funeral Services, 1105 Benner Ave., Fort Erie. Details regarding a public gathering to share memories and offer support will be announced at a later date.

For those wishing to honour Keith’s memory, donations to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada would be sincerely appreciated.
