Henry C. Keith, III of Madisonville, LA, passed away on Friday, March 22, 2013 
at home after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer at age 69.

Husband of Beth Keith and only child of Henry C. Keith II and Louisa Jean 
McCurdie Keith he was born in New Orleans, where he graduated from Fortier High 
School and attended Southeastern University in Hammond. He also served proudly 
in Vietnam from 1963-67 as part of the Marine Corp.

grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, a multitude of friends from around the 
nation and other family, Janet Boyd of Decatur, Alabama, Ellen McCurdie, Lucy 
McCurdie, Jim Morgan and Ed Morgan of Hattiesburg.

Henry was a born ambassador for life. He lived each day to the fullest and made 
the world a better place by just being here. He never met a stranger, strangers 
soon became friends and he loved all his friends with everything he had. A 
celebration of his life will be held at the home on April 6, 2013 at 2:00 pm as 
we remember his enthusiasm for life and his passion for his friends. He never 
forgot his friends and he will never be forgotten. Peace be with him and those 
who come together to remember such a remarkable man.
