Alan "Keith" Mears

He was born in Los Angeles, CA on Oct 4, 1956 to Paul and Elaine Mears.

He is survived by his wife Bonnie, a life together that was based on mutual support and a deep love for one another. His Mom Elaine, daughter Lynette and son-in-law Frank, son Jason and step daughters Erica and Mindy. Keith’s brother Brent and sister-in-law Terri Mears, as well as 7 amazing grandchildren. For good measure, cousins, brothers-in-law and sister-in law, nieces and nephews across the country were part of his extraordinary blended family he cherished in his circle of life.

His life’s journey included many destinations, occupations and adventures until he settled in Phoenix, completing not only his Doctor of Divinity degree in his later years but becoming a golf professional, teaching others about the sport that meant so much to him.

He leaves behind a huge void in the hearts of his family and the many friends who knew him.

Keith’s passions in life were many; his love of the Lord, his family, music, cooking and golf. He did them all with enthusiasm, always striving to learn more.

“What you leave behind is not what is engraved on stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others”. Pericles, Philosopher.

Keith, you have left a wonderous woven tapestry of memories, love and encouragement. May you find peace. Always remembered, always loved.
