Keith Stafford

Keith Stafford passed away peacefully on August 14, 2024 at Gateway Lodge in Prince George with his daughter and husband by his side. He was born on November 22, 1941. He was the third oldest of 8 children and lived in Prince George for most of his life with a short period of time in Chetwynd.

In his younger years he was a member of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI). After he completed his time with the Army he joined the BC Forest Service until his mid fifties and then he worked with the BC Workers Compensation Board until he retired.

He is survived by his children Lisa (Kevin) and Warren (Juliet) and grandchildren Jonathon, Jarin and Aliyah. As well, by Ken (brother), Viola and Terry (sister & brother-in-law), Ray and Tuula (brother & sister-in-law), Corrine & Lance (sister & brother-in-law), Betty and Karen (sister-in-laws) and many extended nieces and nephews.

Keith loved to play cards, watch hockey, get together with family and friends, especially the Stafford family picnics, and make people laugh with his jokes. Keith was not a materialistic man, cherished his kids and grandkids, loved strawberry ice cream and a good hot dog with relish and mustard!

In addition to his parents (Gordon and Eva Stafford), he was predeceased by his brothers Reg, Randy and Donald.

Keith’s family extends a sincere THANK YOU to the Gateway Lodge, and the Short Stay, FMU and IMU departments at UHNBC for the excellent care and support that was given to him and his Family.

In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to the Royal Canadian Legion Prince George Branch 43.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
