KEITH TAGGART
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Keith Taggart on July 26, 2024. Surrounded by his loving family, Arlene and Jason, in the A3 Palliative Care.
Born on March 5,1946, Keith was the cherished son of Bob and May Taggart and grew up with his brother, Bob, in the family home. He attended school in Brandon. He began his hospital career as an orderly at Assiniboine Hospital in 1970. He continued his dedicated service when the hospital moved in 1974, eventually becoming a porter aide in Radiology until his retirement in 2000.
In 1975, Keith married Arlene (Rose), on August 30th. Their family was joyfully completed in September 1977, when their son, Jason was born. He treasured the family cabin at the old campground in Clear Lake, the first one built in 1953. Keith enjoyed bowling, golfing and fishing. Keith started coaching the Special Olympics 10-pin bowling club in 1995. The club grew from 12 bowlers to 68, and Keith was still coaching until his passing.
Keith leaves behind his devoted wife of 49 years, Arlene; his son, Jason from London, Ontario; his brother, Bob (Alvena) Taggart of Calgary; his brother-in-law, Randy Westwood; his special friend and motorcycle buddy, Barry (Sue Malinowski), of Provost, Alberta; as well as many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents, Bob and May Taggart; his sister-in-law, Sheila Romance and Cathy Westwood; his brother-in-law, Steve Romance.
Arlene and Jason extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff on the fifth floor of Brandon Regional Health Centre, the Palliative Care staff on A3, and the doctors, Dr. Mohammed and Dr. Eigo, for their compassionate care.
