It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of husband and father Earl Keith, with his family by has side, on Monday, October 13, 2014 at the age of 73.

He is survived by his loving wife Irene, sons Trevor and Sean, brother Don (Jeanette) of Ladner BC, and niece Lori (Anu) of Kelowna.

Earl was born at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops and spent most of his life here. He was a life long, successful businessman working in the menswear field, first with Mil’s Menswear, Garnet Brown and later as the owner of Brian’s Work and Western Wear. Earl’s passions were fishing, growing gladiolas and cheering for the Montreal Canadiens. He could often be seen riding his bike with a cowboy hat on.

The family would like to offer a special thanks to Dr. Wiltshire and the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Hospice House. Thank you also to everyone that cared for Earl in these last months through difficult days.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Kamloops Hospice or the Kamloops Moose Lodge.

Earl requested no formal service – Gone Fishing.
