Keith Miner

It is with deep love and gratitude for a life well lived that we announce the peaceful passing of Keith Miner, a remarkable man who was surrounded by the love of his family, leaving behind a legacy of quiet strength, steady hands, and a generous heart.

Keith was born in Hinesburg Vermont to Chester and Dorothy Miner. His early career brought him to live in various states, then returning to reside in Burlington, Vermont to raise his family where he established countless friendships and created lasting memories.

Keith was also a proud veteran who served in the United States Army overseas in the years following World War II. He carried the values of duty, humility, and quiet strength with him throughout his life. His service shaped the steady, dependable man his family and friends came to rely on so completely.

Keith received his advanced education as an electronics technician, enjoying a lengthy career. Following this, and a passion for building, he shifted the latter part of his career to construction, and facilities management for a Vermont Bank.

For 67 years, he shared a devoted and loving marriage with his wife and soulmate, Sherrie, whose partnership and love were the foundation of their family. Together they shared a lifelong zest for travel and adventure. Whether exploring new places, setting sail on their sailboat on Lake Champlain, or planning the next journey to visit every continent save Antarctica, Keith embraced the world with a penchant for wanderlust.

A gifted problem-solver, he could build and fix nearly anything - a talent that became both legend and comfort to all who knew him. If something was broken, he would find a way to make it whole again. He was a true MacGyver! He approached every project with patience and ingenuity, accompanied by occasional expletives :)

Keith was known first and foremost for his patience and kindness. He had a calm presence that reassured those around him, and he met life's challenges with steady resolve and a warm smile. He was considerate, dependable and eager to assist others, sharing his skills and knowledge.

A devoted family man, Keith loved deeply and wholeheartedly. His family gave him the greatest joy as he celebrated their achievements with unconditional support. He is survived by his wife, four children, five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Keith's life was defined not by grand gestures, but by everyday acts of love, integrity and quiet presence. His teaching moments, gentle spirit, capable hands and the calm strength carried him-and all who loved him-through nearly a century of living.

Keith will always be remembered fondly, deeply missed, and forever loved.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday March 3, 2026, at 10 am at Christ the King Church 136 Locust Street Burlington. Interment will follow at Resurrection Park 200 Hinesburg Road South Burlington.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all the caregivers and members of the medical community who were instrumental in caring for Keith with compassion and dedication.
