H.G. Keith Arnold passed away peacefully on May 17^th, 2024, at the age of 81 with his wife, three sons and immediate family at his side.

Keith loved his family and enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting and just sitting around visiting or playing crib. He spent many hours bobbing on the water.

Keith was born in Maple Creek, and received his education in Golden Prairie, Maple Creek and Medicine Hat. He joined the military in 1961 at 18 years old, trained and worked as a firefighter. He met his wife (lifetime sweetheart) Dianne (Leard) in Summerside, PEI and they married in 1964. They were young and enjoyed moving to a total of 11 military bases including Germany, where their first two boys were born.

Keith retired from the military in 1982 and moved to Medicine Hat, Regina, and eventually ended up in North Battleford in 1989.

Left to cherish Keith’s memory are his wife Dianne Arnold of 59 years, his three sons and their spouses: Michael Arnold (Rosemarie), Steven Arnold (Darcy), and Darryl Arnold (Cathy).

Also left to cherish his memory are his Grandchildren: Christopher Berlinger, Gabrielle Arnold, Shayne McInnes, P.J. Arnold, Brandon Haster (Cynthia), Keith Arnold, and Devyn Arnold; Great Grandchildren: Eleanor Haster and Parker Arnold.

Keith was predeceased by his parents Pearl and Leonard Arnold, brother Vernon Arnold, sister-in-law Aldean Arnold, sister Carol McIvor and brother-in-law Wally Jenser.

At Keith’s request, no memorial service will be held, and he will be interred at a later date.

Keith was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, firefighter and mentor and we’ve all been blessed to have him in our lives.  Surely, he’s still catching more and bigger fish than any of us where he is now.

“Firefighters never die, they just burn forever in the hearts of the people whose lives they saved.”
