Keith McLeod

Keith McLeod passed away peacefully in Silverdale, WA on January 18th, 2021. He will be remembered as a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and dear friend.

Keith and his twin sister Kathy were born on August 9, 1950 in Wyandotte, MI and they were raised in Akron, NY. He graduated from Akron Central High School with high honors in 1968 and was a star baseball and football player. He earned a four-year scholarship to the State University of New York New Paltz where he earned his BA in history while playing baseball.

Following college, Keith moved to California, traveled around Mexico and then landed in Seattle for his first job. He found his way to Kitsap in 1979 where he began his 30-year career with Kingston Lumber. He was a valued employee where he built longstanding, trusting relationships with contractors and customers. Keith was always friendly, patient, organized and honest. After leaving Kingston Lumber, he served the community at Do it Best Hardware until he entered Brookdale Montclair Poulsbo. Keith spent the last two years at Brookdale where he participated in many activities and was a helpful, loved resident.

As an avid outdoorsman Keith had many adventures fishing and hunting across the country and enjoyed spectating sports his whole life. Keith loved animals, especially his hunting dogs. He enjoyed listening to music and shared that passion with his friends and family. Keith was a wonderful friend and community member who will be dearly missed.

Keith is survived by his daughter Carly McLeod, son, Michael McLeod, grandsons Damian and Ethan, sister Kathy Lang, nieces Jamie Bagheri and Jillian Lang and great-nephew, Owen Covey. Keith also leaves behind a large group of loving and devoted friends.
