Keith Homer Obituary
March 6, 1947 - March 8, 2025
Keith passed peacefully with his family by his side on March 8, 2025, in the Palliative Care Unit at the Royal Jubilee Hospital. Born to Geoffrey and Joan Homer in Victoria on March 6th 1947, Keith will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 43 years, Dean, sons Christopher (Yvette) and Geoffrey (Denise), brothers Garth (Penny) and Bruce, and grandchildren Ethan, Ava, Dominic, Trinity, Joel, and Miles.
Keith was blessed with a great sense of humour, and relished telling stories of carefree childhood spent growing up in Cadboro Bay. His fondest memories were of family trips - spent as both a child and a parent - and he never stopped selflessly giving to friends and family. He will be missed.
The family would like to thank the team of healthcare providers who cared for Keith over the years, including Dr. Jana DeBruyn, Dr. Sun Han Phang, Dr. Nelson Svorkdal, Dr. Corisande Baldwin, Dr. Jim Stockdill, and the incredible staff in 8 South PCC.
No service by request (Keith wouldn't have it any other way). In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Garth Homer Foundation (garthhomerfoundation.org).

I'm so sorry to hear (and so belatedly) of Keith's death. He was such a special friend and support to me when we were at UVic, when I was very new to life in Canada. I spent a lot of time at his home back then. His generosity, and that of his father and mother helped to keep me sane during some difficult times. I loved Keith's dry sense of humour, his stories of teaching and coaching football (of all things) in PG. When he was equipment manager of the UVic Vikings rugby team he came with us on our 1969 tour to the UK & Ireland. (I've got a fine photograph of him reclining in the back garden of my parents' house in Edinburgh.) Our lives eventually branched off in different directions, but when we met up a few short years ago after a good 35 years had passed, it was as if the last time had been only a week or two before. He was that kind of friend, very rare to me, for me. I'm so sorry Dean. To Christopher and Geoffrey your Dad was a one-off. A special, special man. My condolences too, to Ethan, Ava, Dominic, Trinity, Joel and Miles; the world is so much of a better place for having had Keith in it. And my sincere condolences to Garth and Bruce, because those were good times, and too short, and I am so very grateful for having had your brother as a friend.
Mike
