We the family of Keith Carleton announce his passing on February 23, 2025. He was born in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan on January 26, 1960 and raised on the family farm, along with his brothers, Les and Gary. After leaving high school, Keith worked at the family Dodge dealership and road construction until schizophrenia cut his employment years short at age 18. He spent the remainder of his life living in North Battleford, spending many years at the Sask. Hospital and eventually integrating himself into the community while living in group homes.

Keith was predeceased by his parents, Gladys and Mel, and is survived by brother Les, brother and sister-in-law Gary and Audrey, and nephews, Thomas and Jack.

The family would like to sincerely thank the staff of Sask. Hospital, especially nurse and friend, Rod English, along with staff at Battlefords Union Hospital for Keith’s care. His group home care givers, Amanda Glessing and Jason Bossaer, and Elaine Kostiuk made his community integration possible and we thank them for that. His last years were his best years.

Private interment will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Saskatchewan Hospital, Box 39 Stn Main, North Battleford, Sk, S9A 2X8.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Eternal Memories Funeral Service and Crematorium – Larissa Wack Apprentice Funeral Director.
