Keith George (Pete) Ashinhurst was born in Phoenix, Arizona, to Horace Keith and Myrle Irene (Watts) Ashinhurst on July 2, 1935. He went to be with his Lord and Savior on October 5, 2021, at the age of 86. Keith was living in Fort Smith, Arkansas, at the time of his passing.
Keith spent four years in the Navy and 16+ years in the Air Force and worked in Civil Engineering as an electrician.
He loved to travel! His service in the military fueled his love of travel and he, along with his family, traveled extensively around the world.
Keith always had an interest in flying and pursued that dream after retiring. He, and his very reluctant wife, flew whenever they could. He really enjoyed flying, and she really enjoyed landing.
Keith also had a love for birds. He was an avid birdwatcher and often took trips to various places, in their motor home, just to watch different species of birds migrating through.
Keith and his wife spent many years ministering in Christian camps from Texas to Colorado.
Keith is survived by his wife of 64 years, Dorthy May (Rains) Ashinhurst, two daughters, Brenda Kaye Ashinhurst, and Karla Jo Rodgers (Don), six grandchildren, Jeremy Henson (Rebecca), Rachel Henson, Joshua Henson, Bethany Guerrero (Homero), Staci Phelps (Robert), and Holly Bomar (Solomon) and 13 great grandchildren, Kylee Phelps, Rylea Guinn, Josten Henson, Arianna Phelps, Austin Kang, Kinley Bomar, Sebastian Guerrero, Dominick Guerrero, Winter Bomar, Orion Bomar, Liliana Guerrero, Shiloh Bomar, and Baby Guerrero.
