Keith Currie Obituary
August 20, 1956 - October 8, 2024
Keith passed away October 8, 2024 at home after a long illness.
He was a graduate of Yuma High School and Northern Arizona University. His early career was in education. He spent his later years working at the Yuma International Airport.
Keith enjoyed traveling. Especially memorable to him was a trip to Ireland with family.
He was an avid hunter most of his life. He was always willing to share his knowledge with anyone who asked (and even with those who didn't ask!!)
Keith will be remembered by family and friends as a loyal friend and a source of strength. He cared for his invalid parents until their deaths.
Keith is preceded in death by parents, John and Maria; brothers, John Brian, Stephen Paul, Glenn Patrick and nephew, Glenn Patrick II.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sons of the American Legion, 2575 S. Virginia Dr. Yuma, AZ 85364.

Mr. Currie was one of my 6th-grade teachers at Post Elementary School back in the early 80s. He was a great teacher with an even better sense of humor. Mr. Currie was kind and one of those teachers that kids gravitated toward. Back then, Mork and Mindy was a popular sitcom and Mr. Currie looked like Mork (Robin Williams). Most of his students called him Mr. Mork. Rest in peace, Mr. Currie and thank you for being a fantastic teacher.

Keith and I taught together at Post School in the late 70´s-early 80´s. He was a caring teacher for the many students from the north side. Tuesday nights were filled with basketball games at Gila Vista Gym. We grew up on the same 10th Avenue neighborhood block. Your tin shed in the back was dented from all the rocks we threw from the alley. It used to drive your dad crazy mad! I hope you are resting in peace as I play one more Gary and The US Bonds hit in your remembrance.
