Keith Alan Stikeleather

Keith Alan Stikeleather, age 63 of Greenville, OH passed away on June 25, 2025. He was born on January 16, 1962 in Greenville. 

Keith was a very loving person and had a huge heart; he was always there for you. He was a very free spirit and lived on the edge, but he was also stubborn and determined. He loved riding his motorcycle and blasting country or rock-n-roll music. He was a hard worker, a jack-of-all-trades, and proud local #290 Ironworker for over 20 years and would bring it up in any conversation. He was proud to be a cattle-hauler, a job that he took on with several friends. He was a jokester and loved to laugh and have a good time. Most of all, he was a proud dad and papaw, and was always showing off his family’s accomplishments. 

Keith was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Marshall Stikeleather, Sr. and Viola Stikeleather; maternal grandparents Lincoln “Cleo” Kessler and LaVon (Herbert) Ehle. He is survived by his father Marshall (Rosemary) Stikeleather, Jr. of Arcanum, OH; his mother Vanessa Stikeleather of Greenville, OH; children Kaylee (Skyler) Durnye of Venice, FL, Kameron Stikeleather of Greenville, OH, and Brayden Stikeleather of Lewisburg, OH; grandchildren Knox Stikeleather and Rayleigh Stikeleather; sister Robin Parent of Greenville, OH; brother Chris (Melanie) Stikeleather of Greenville, OH; and numerous nieces and nephews. 

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Gard Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Eaton is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences and other remembrances may be sent to the family by visiting www.gardfuneralhome.com.
