Brian Keith Obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce Brian Maxwell Keith's unexpected passing in Victoria on Friday, October 13, 2017 at the age of 72.

Brian is survived by his loving wife Connie Scheurer, two sons, Kevin and wife Sarah and Ken and wife Yolanda; and grandchildren Samantha, Suzanne, Brandan, Alexis, Brady, and Rylan.

Brian also leaves his four siblings Patty and husband Wayne, Arlene, Jodi and husband David, and Jim and wife Karla; and his many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family. Brian is predeceased by his wife Lynn Keith and his parents Max and Peggy Keith.

Brian was born on March 28, 1945 in Fort Macleod, Alberta and grew up in Kamloops BC. He graduated from Kamloops High School and joined the Bank of Montreal where he worked in a number of branches in BC and Alberta. Brian retired as Portfolio Quality Manager in Victoria, BC in 2006.

After retirement, Brian drove a school bus. He loved the children as much as they loved him. More recently, Brian was a volunteer with Cancer DriveLine, transporting patients to their appointments. Brian provided them with much comfort and support and felt honoured to be able to help.

Brian enjoyed traveling the world with Connie. Machu Picchu in Peru was especially memorable to him. One of Brian's favourite places to rest and reflect was his brother Jim's cabin at Needa Lake in the Cariboo region of BC.

Family and friends lovingly remember Brian as a kind and gentle man with a big heart and beautiful soul. Brian had a wonderful sense of humour and made everyone he met feel special. Brian, you are loved and deeply missed.

A celebration of life will be held in Victoria BC, on Oct 27, 2017, at 2:00 pm at The Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens in Royal Oak, 4665 Falaise Drive. A celebration will also be held in Red Deer in November. In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to the Cancer DriveLine Society 550-2950 Douglas Street V8T 4N4 http://www.cancerdriveline.ca/

Dear Connie- It was merely a few days ago we met face to face at our volunteer appreciation social. What a joy to meet both of you and to see the very dedicated and kind volunteer driver in Brian. Through his own health challenges, he still had the energy and compassion to give his time and patience to others in their cancer journey.
We do think so fondly and gratefully of him and will miss him. Many thanks to you for asking for donations for this organization Brian served. Kindest regards, Vicky Bates for the Cancer DriveLins Society

We will always remember Brian as kind, generous, humble and loving. He was an example of what we should all strive to be in life. He was always quick with a smile and gave great hugs.
He was a lucky man to have so many people who loved him.
Connie we hope the loving memories you made together give you peace. We know how much he loved you, and how happy you made him.
We will miss him terribly but will smile when we think of him.
Love Des and Ron
