Publish in a newspaper

Addron Keith Hawkins was born on January 23, 1963. He is the son of Annette Hawkins and the late Talmadge Hawkins. Keith passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 25, at his residence, surrounded by his family.
Keith was a member of McCullough Chapel Baptist Church. Keith was a lover of the outdoors. His favorite season was winter, as he knew hunting season was ahead. As an outdoorsman, construction was his profession. He began his construction career with Forcum Lannom Associates before starting the family business with his dad (Tab) and son (Brian) of 'Hawkins Construction and Home Repair.'
Keith later joined the RFW Construction Group, where he spent his last ten years traveling throughout the states, participating in and supervising the construction of numerous projects.
Keith leaves behind his wife of 44 years, Paula Hawkins, along with his children Brian Hawkins (Caitlin), Tiffany Stoup (Dustin), and Brandon Alexander. Keith loved and cherished his grandchildren more than life: Katie Hawkins, Keith Hawkins, Jr., Rooster Hawkins, Bradley Buffington, Blake Stroup, Lillian Alexander, Niall Alexander, and grandson-n-love David Proud. He also leaves behind a brother, Ricky Hawkins (Laura), and a sister, Kim French (Allen), as well as a multitude of extended family members with whom he loved.
Keith was preceded in death by his dad, Talmadge "Tab" Hawkins; a brother, Randy Hawkins; his grandparents, Buster and Lois Williams; and James Carl and Gracie Hawkins.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, November 29, from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Funeral services will be at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, November 30, 2025 in the Chapel of Curry Funeral Home, conducted by Brother Eddie Wilbanks, with interment to follow in Fairview Cemetery.
Pallbearers will be Brian Hawkins, Keith Hawkins, Jr., Bradley Buffington, Brandon Alexander, Shawn Criswell, and Tommy Criswell. Honorary pallbearers are Blake Hawkins, Brandon French, Josh Buffington, and James 'Peanut' Newhouse. We are privileged and honored to serve the family of Keith Hawkins.
