Keith Graham Jackette

06/11/1971 - 07/14/2025

Keith Graham Jackette passed away on July 14, 2025, surrounded by his family.
Keith is survived by his mother, Kathy (Kate) Jackette, his father, Joseph Jackette, his sister Kim Famula, her husband Jim, their daughters Morgan and Amanda, and his beloved cats Hoki and Poki that he rescued as newborn kittens.
Sadly for years he struggled with the terrible disease of alcoholism. While he was sober in the end it was a constant challenge for him. We pray for any family that has this disease.
Keith was born in Wilson, North Carolina on June 11, 1971, but spent most of his childhood in New Providence, New Jersey. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from the School of Communications, University of Santa Barbara.
He moved to San Francisco and worked for several years before finding his calling to be an acupuncturist.
He then returned to New Jersey to study at the Swedish Institute, in NYC.
He studied Traditional Chinese Medicine through a holistic approach that optimizes the dynamics of the body, mind and soul.
He graduated with a Master of Science Degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. He was the recipient of the Kan Dung and Liu Yun Goon Scholarship which are offered to only one student a year.
As he started his acupuncture career he began using his middle name, Graham. He opened his own practice in New York City, but the economic recession took hold and he eventually had to close his practice with hopes to pursue it in the future.
Graham had a good heart and soul and went on to shine as a skilled acupuncturist. He studied the various modalities which included Herbal Medicine, Nutrition, Cupping Therapy, Reiki and more. He took pride in spending time with his patients to listen and learn about each and everyone.
Through his intuition and knowledge he was devoted to helping them get better.
He had great empathy for people and did some outreach to offer hope to those who were incarcerated or in disadvantaged situations.
