Keith Wilson Crick, left this world peacefully at his home in Winchester, Virginia, on September 2, 2025, at the age of 64. Born on February 22, 1961, in Arlington, Virginia, Keith lived a life defined by love and connection to his family.
A dedicated first responder, Keith served his community as a Firefighter. His commitment to helping others was evident in everything he did, especially in his role as a father and husband. He often enjoyed sharing his extensive knowledge of gun safety and shooting with his grandchildren, ensuring they learned the importance of responsibility and respect for the weapon. Keith had a passion for the great outdoors, frequently indulging in his hobbies of hunting, fishing, and shooting. He could often be found in the company of his beloved dogs, Diesel and Kimber.
Keith's legacy continues through his loving wife, Pamela Dianne Ansell Crick, whom he married on September 26, 1996, in Linden, Virginia. Their bond spanned nearly three decades, filled with love, laughter, and support for one another. He is survived by his two daughters, Lisa Marie Nichols (Alvin) of Woodbridge, Virginia, and Maureen Renee Quinney (Ryan) of Strasburg, Virginia; his sons, Gregory Joseph Womack of Front Royal, Virginia, and Jason Travis Crick of Winchester, Virginia; and his siblings, Linda, Kathy, Kevin, and Steven. Keith was a proud grandfather to six grandchildren and was excited to welcome his first great-grandchild into the world.
Keith was the son of John Carlson Crick and Mary Cope Crick, both of whom preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his son, Trevor Michael Ansell.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to a local charity that supports first responders.
