In Celebration of

Keith Henry LeBrun

September 21, 1934 -  August 29, 2021

On Sunday, August 29, 2021, in his 87th year after a long and active life.

Keith is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Margaret Lamb and their four daughters, Kim (John Field), Susan (Richard Bernier), Nancy (Jason Watmore) and Jane (David Poirier). He was the cherished Grandad of Emily, Sarah, Justin, Elsie, Brian, Lilianne and Great-Grandad of Isaac, Meredith, Adele, Ezra, Flora and Weston. He will be greatly missed by his lifetime best friend and brother Graham (Jackie MacLellan), and his nieces Tracy, Erin and Amber.

Born and raised in Montreal, Keith loved his summers in Ste-Lucie-des-Laurentides where he became fully bilingual at a young age. Many years at the cottage were enjoyed with his family. Since his days at Montreal High School, Keith was a soul-brother to Ozzie Harding from Jamaica. Ozzie was devastated to learn of Keith’s passing.

Keith spent most of his working career at Blaiklock Inc. in Montreal as part-owner and finance executive and was well respected in the custom brokerage industry. For many years Keith was Secretary with St. Andrew’s Masonic Lodge. He volunteered with the Golden Leaves Seniors and with Greenfield Park United Church. Upon retiring Keith enjoyed time with his golf group, mall walking, and going to “Tims” with buddies. Keith was very personable and outgoing. All who knew him appreciated his intelligence, charm and sense of humour.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Centre Saint-Lambert (Rehabilitation Centre) for their kindness and wonderful care.

A celebration of life will take place on Friday, September 3 at Greenfield Park United Church at 3:00 p.m. Due to Covid restrictions, the in-person service for Keith will be by invitation only. For those not attending the service, you may join us by Zoom.

Donations can be made to the Shriners Hospitals for Children (Montreal) as an expression of sympathy.

I didn't meet Keith until he was in his 80th year, when I was invited to join the "Group LeBrun" golfing fraternity, as a spare. The core group were getting older and they needed some new blood to keep up the numbers.
From the very first game I felt totally included with their easy going friendly nature and even as a spare I was getting to play quite often with them.
Keith was always a gentleman. He loved to critique his fellow golfers but never during play. He would always ask his foursome, before teeing up on the first tee, how they thought they would play that day and what score they would make.
After the game he would send an email to his foursome with, his lighthearted, usually astute and often funny, critical appraisal of each player in the group, including himself.
After some years, I think it was in the fall of 2017, Keith and Arnold who had operated the group from the beginning decided they would like to hand over the reins to some young bucks and asked Mike Laekas to take over the operation.
Mike said he would only do it if I came on board and I have to say I was honored to be considered. Mike took over the functions of Keith, negotiating and communicating with the clubs which we honored with our presence, and I took over the task of deciding who played with who.
The "Group LeBrun" will continue as a memorial to Keith.
I am sure that all of the members who knew Keith will remember him every time they play golf with the "Group LeBrun".
R.I.P. Keith

So sorry to hear of Keith’s passing. I met Kieth as a member of the golfing group he started and was impressed with his friendliness and the summaries of the golf games he would send us. He will be missed.
