<div itemprop="description">Keith Boyd <br> <br> <br>It is with overwhelming sadness that we share the passing of our husband, father, grandfather and friend. On Wednesday, June 8, 2016, true to his nature and on his own terms, Keith passed away at home, secure in the fact that his family have the qualities of strength and resiliency to carry on. Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Jan, daughter, Donna, grandchildren Alexander and Nadya, stepsons James (Monique and Finlay) and Scott (Amanda and Jack). <br>Keith led a full life and embraced everyone he met both personally and professionally. His passion for his life long career in the automotive industry meant so much to him. His friends and family all knew how much he loved to laugh, have fun – and sing to his favourites; Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline and Johnny Horton. He could have a conversation with anyone and his charm and commitment to others gained him many dear and close friends with whom he golfed, sailed, and played slo-pitch. <br>A true family man only a call away, he was always willing to lend a hand with anything we asked, for as long we needed - showing us his love and care with every word and act. He was especially proud of his beloved grandchildren, and enjoyed every moment he had to spend with them. Treasured memories include summer holidays at Clear Lake, golfing, teaching them to drive, or simply just enjoying their company and conversation. <br>Keith will always be remembered for the tremendous amount of attention to detail he paid to every task and undertaking and coined a word to describe his philosophy – “GENI’”. GENI, an acronym for “Good Enough Never Is”, represented his mantra to never do anything half way, and instead give it your all in every situation. <br>For the last number of years, Keith spent many hours endlessly and enthusiastically promoting the work of the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation and greatly valued his role on its Board. <br>He loved to travel and spent many wonderful winters with Jan and their treasured friends in Mexico. <br>You gave us many things in life, <br>gifts both great and small. <br>But most of all, you gave us your love, <br>the greatest gift of all. <br> <br>A celebration of Keith’s life will be held on Monday, June 13 at The Gates, 6945 Roblin Blvd at 4:00pm. <br>To all the special caregivers, we offer our sincerest thanks. <br>In lieu of flowers, and in support of his tireless dedication to CancerCare Manitoba, please consider a donation in Keith’s memory. <br></div>
