Micks, Keith

MICKS, Keith – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Keith Micks on July 7, 2025, at Dufferin Oaks in Shelburne, surrounded by the love of his family.
Born in Sunnidale Township to Norman and Florence Micks, Keith lived a life of deep devotion to family, community, and service. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Ruth (née Tupling), with whom he shared a life built on love and compassion.
Keith was the proud father of Craig (Marina), Cary, Chris (Josey), the late Carol (Scott) Funston, Cindy (Barry) White, and Connie Lee Prince. He was a cherished grandfather to Jeremy, Stacy, Jason, Tabatha, Jody, Erin, Kori, Adam, Catlin, Cody, Brittany, Michelle, Sirinity, Trinity, and Gabriel. He leaves behind a lasting legacy in his 26 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren.
He is survived by his brother Lloyd (Sandy) and was predeceased by his siblings Gordon (Georgina) and Joan (Robert) Weatherall.
Keith served as a firefighter for over 30 years, dedicating himself to the safety and well-being of others. His commitment to community was evident in his role as a Mulmur Township Councillor and as a foster parent for more than 35 years, opening his home and heart to countless children.
Family was the heart of Keith’s world. He treasured every moment spent with those he loved and was a true role model — humble, dependable, and kind. He had a passion for hockey, a deep connection to the land, and always considered himself a farmer at heart.
Keith’s life was one of purpose and generosity, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A private service will be held in Creemore. Interment at Honeywood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Honeywood Arena in his memory. Friends may visit Keith’s online Book of Memories at www.fawcettfuneralhomes.com
