It is with great sadness that I reflect on the passing of a dear friend, Keith.
Keith and I first met in the Australian Air Force back in 1986, and we served together at RAAF Williamtown for four memorable years. Although he was a few years older than me, he quickly became more than just a colleague, he was a mentor and a steady guiding influence during my early life.
Keith was a man of strong morals and unwavering integrity. He carried himself with quiet confidence and decency, and those qualities left a lasting impression on me. He also showed, through his actions every day, what it meant to be a kind and loving husband to Kerrie, something I always respected deeply.
Some of my fondest memories are the simple ones, spending hours together in his shed, tinkering with bits and pieces, solving all the world’s problems, sharing stories, and enjoying the occasional glass of port. Those moments weren’t just about what we were doing, but about the camaraderie and friendship we shared.
I’m truly grateful that we had the chance to catch up again not so long ago. It was especially meaningful, as it was the first time Keith and Kerrie met my wife, Luisa (Gracie). True to form, Keith’s cheeky sense of humour was on full display, and he quickly made an impression, one that Luisa took to immediately.
Keith’s influence on my life is something I will always carry with me. He helped shape my values and the person I became, and for that, I will always be thankful.
Our heartfelt condolences go to Kerrie, Alan, Tash, Terri, and Simone, and to the extended family. Keith was a remarkable man who will be deeply missed, but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Rest in peace, my dear friend.
Piers & Luisa (Gracie)
Dear Keith,
It was a true privilege to walk these final years with you. The trust you placed in me, even in your most vulnerable moments, taught me more about love and resilience than I ever thought possible.
You were not just my client, you were my mate. So many stories and laughs that will stay with me always.
Thank you to Kerrie and family for taking me in as extended family. I am so saddened for your loss.
Kim and Andy Hussey xx
Uncle Keith, you were a great man and funny one as well, I have great memories when I used to stay at your house with the family as a little girl, your passing deeply shocked me.
You are now at peace
Will always be missed
Much love xo
RIP
Keith, (Dusty), you were one of a kind. You were a Joker and great mate. I’d enjoyed your stories and also time serviced with you in the Airforce, where we met all those years ago. Will miss you and your friendly banter mate. Glad to have caught up with you and family last September.
RIP Keith

Ye old dust blower, U were one of a kind. A great mate and an outstanding gentleman. Will always have fond memories of our times together.
Dusty, you were one of a kind. I hope you found the peace you were after. Rest Easy mate. Xx
Dad, you left so quickly that we didn’t get a chance to say a proper goodbye. If I knew Thursday was going to be our last hug goodbye I would not have let you go!
You’re gone and I can’t change that, you’re at peace now. It breaks my heart that Reedus will never see you again, and that you won’t be there to watch him grow!
My heart aches every day and I’m not sure how to accept you’re gone.
I love you big heaps dad!! I’ll always love you and miss you! 💔💔❤️
Dear Keith, it was such a shock to hear of your passing.
You have struggled for so long and deserve to be at eternal peace.
Such an intelligent and talented man, it was a tragedy for you to be diagnosed with such a debilitating disease that slowly took you away from your family.
Our deepest condolences to Kerrie and all your loving family members, you will be deeply missed.
We have many fond memories of you that we shall never forget.
RIP Keith xx Dianne & Peter
My first and only love,
It hurts to know that you are gone but I get solace in knowing that your tortured and tormented mind is now at peace.
A perfectionist, a teacher, a dedicated and reliable, loyal worker, a son, a brother, an uncle, a husband, a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather, a joker, a cheeky man, an inappropriate character, but mostly, caring, loving and memorable in every way.
I will always love you. 💕
