KEITH G. J. MCKEY

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Keith G. J. McKey on July 15, 2025, in Toronto, in his 93rd year. Loving husband of 68 years to June, Keith will be deeply missed by his family, of whom he was immensely proud, children, Christina - predeceased (Christopher), David (Rona), Julie, and Erin (Robert); his eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Born in Timmins to Vernon and Myriel McKey. Predeceased by his siblings, Evelyn, Verna, and Lloyd. Keith entered Royal Roads Military College on a Navy League scholarship. He graduated from RMC in 1954, following up with a Queen's U engineering degree. His career took him across Canada and around the world. He served in the RCN with appointments to Victoria, Washington D.C. (Joint Chiefs), and Halifax. He then moved on to private industry and consulting. Keith served on the executive of the Professional Engineers of Ontario and the Dupont Credit Union in Brockville, the RMC Club of Canada (Toronto Branch), president of Queen's Alumni Association (Montreal), North York Aquatic Club, and the Bayview Village Association. He enjoyed an artistic flair; painting and working with stained-glass. He also enjoyed cheering on family members in their pursuits. Keith loved researching the family's ancestry. Keith was a member of Legion Number 165 and former member of the Toronto Curling and Cricket Club. We will miss his presence and the way he made us feel - valued, supported, and deeply loved. A Celebration of Life is being planned for September 2025. Online Condolences available at www.chapelridgefh.com
