Keith Edward St. John

During this past year Keith celebrated some milestones. Much to his surprise, as he pointed out, in March he turned 80 years old. In June he celebrated 60 years of marriage with Peggy. In this day and age that truly is something to be acknowledged and he was quite thrilled to receive a letter from the Governor General of Canada acknowledging this monumental accomplishment.

In his later years, Keith was known to be a puzzle extraordinaire and he loved to be in charge of the television remote control. Through the years Keith enjoyed various occupations; however, first and foremost he was a farmer.

Keith will be remembered for his love of music and his talent in playing the saxophone, his love of the prairies, his love of family, his love of sports, especially baseball and curling.

Keith had a very kind and generous heart and we all loved being with him. He was not only friendly to everyone but a friend to many. He was quite the tease with his great grand children. We’ve shared heartbreaks and laughter throughout the years and dad was always calm and confident that things would always work out. He had a strong relationship with Jesus and we know he is at peace with his maker.

On behalf of our family we wish to thank all of you for being a part of Keith’s journey in life.

With sad and grateful hearts:

Peggy; His four children Wendy (Gary Weeks); Jill (Harley Calkins); Shane (Lisa); Sandy (Darcy DePlonty). His 8 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren: Richelle (Chris Anderberg) Annabella; Glenyss (Tom Foster) Alex and Elliot; Emmett; Lyndie (Cory) Lexie , Shawn and Bella; Alyssa ( Jon) Christian, Isaac and Eva; Justin (Kelly) ; Jesse and Chelsea.
