Keith Alan Parkerson
Keith Alan Parkerson passed away suddenly on September 26, 2022 in his hometown of Palmer (Butte), Alaska. He was born on February 3rd, 1961 in Ohio.
Keith was a fun and kind soul who had a love for the outdoors. That’s when you would see him most happy, with friends or family on the river or lake catching whatever would bite. “FISH ON!” He also looked forward to his yearly duck hunting trip and would come back with the biggest smile on his face. He was a great cook, a talented carpenter and before the pains of older age kicked in, he enjoyed skiing the slopes with his kiddos.
Keith is survived by his two children, Danielle and Kyle; two grand boys, Dawson and Micah; his brother, Stan; Sister-in-Law Dorothy; his two nieces, Shiloh and Sarah and his best friends, Kevin, Mike and Rita. It comforts us to visualize Keith in his Dad and Mom’s warm embrace. He is finally free of the pain and hurt of this world and finally back in the loving arms of his late girlfriend, Sammie.
Keith will be honored and remembered with a Celebration of Life on November 6th, 2-4pm at Knik River Lodge.
