September 12, 2022 - Canmore, Alberta

Keith Fewster, of Calgary, AB, passed away in Canmore, AB, on Monday, September 12, 2022, at the age of 88 years.

Keith was born in Carman, MB, on December 13, 1933. He was raised in Sperling, MB, and moved to Calgary, Alberta in 1965. Keith graduated from the University of Manitoba with a degree in Commerce in 1954. He had a long, successful career with Gulf Canada (now Conoco Philips) from 1954 to 1993. Keith was married to Mary from 1957 until her death in 1991. He was then married to Christine in 1994 until her death in 2009.

Keith was a member of the Hillhurst United Church and Wild Rose United Church, as well as a founder of the Learning Disabilities Association of Alberta. He accomplished much throughout his life and was particularly proud of his graduate degree in German and his ARCT for piano. Keith loved music, travel, and the outdoors. He was a talented pianist, an enthusiastic cyclist, and a deeply spiritual person. Keith’s most memorable vacations were the years spent exploring Europe with his second wife, Christine. Keith’s favourite saying was the serenity prayer. He will be most remembered for his talkative nature and boundless curiosity.

Keith is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Dani and Mario Guido of Calgary, AB; his son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Connie Fewster of Calgary, AB; his two sons, William Fewster of Nanaimo, BC, and Jeff Bell of Niagara Falls, ON; his three grandchildren, Kaila Fewster, Patrick Bell, and Bradley Bell; and his great-grandchild Paisley Bell. Keith is also survived by his brother Dell Fewster of Winnipeg, MB, his sister-in-law Doreen Fewster of Steinbach, MB; his brother-in-law Brad McCabe of Winnipeg, MB; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Keith was predeceased by his second wife Christine, his first wife Mary, and his brothers, Glenn Fewster and Wendell Fewster.
