John HaroldKEITHIt is with great sadness that we share the news that our beloved dad, John Keith passed away peacefully on Saturday 9th May 2026, aged 81 years.
He was our rock, our hero and a true gentleman whose kindness and love touched so many lives.
A wonderful dad to Sarah and Emma, cherished grandad to Maddie, Savannah, Tristan, Amelia and Maisie-Sue, much loved husband to our step mum Andrea de Laine who has become such an important part of our family, a loving husband to our wonderful mum the late Susan Keith, a beloved brother to Bobbie and Ralph, and a treasured uncle to Michael, Deborah, Spencer, Alistair and Adrienne.
Dad dedicated so much of his life to helping others and serving the community and was incredibly proud to have been a former Mayor of Derby. He will be remembered by many of his generosity, dedication and warm spirit.
We take comfort in knowing he is now at peace. Dad will be deeply missed and forever loved.
