Keith, 71, of Kaplan, Louisiana, passed away on March 2, 2025, while gardening at home. Keith was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Keith was a man of many passions. He loved to talk to anyone and everyone - from the grocery store cashier to a stranger on vacation - making friends wherever he went. His kind spirit and easygoing nature left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Born and raised in Kaplan, Keith spent his entire life in the community he loved. He attended Kaplan High School before going on to study at USL and Xavier University in New Orleans, where he earned his degree in pharmacy. He dedicated many years to helping others through his work as a pharmacist, including 21 years at Meaux's Pharmacy working alongside his father and grandfather. After retirement, he continued to care for those around him, always offering a helping hand to family and friends.

He was an avid traveler, always planning his next adventure. Keith spent countless hours on his beloved Harley Davidson, journeying from coast to coast and taking in the beauty of the open road. He and his wife, Helen, had upcoming family trips planned to Japan, Las Vegas, and Florida. Whether near or far, Keith's love for exploring the world was matched only by his love for coming home to his garden and yard, where he took pride in every flower and plant he nurtured.

Keith's love of music filled his home, with the sounds of The Beatles, CCR, and The Beach Boys playing often. He found joy in cooking Cajun food for his family, always making sure everyone was fed and cared for. His dedication to his family was unwavering - he was always there to lend a hand, offer advice, or simply listen.

A lifelong fan of the New Orleans Saints, Keith never missed a game, cheering on his team with passion even when the fans wore paper bags on their heads. His motto in life was simple but profound: "Just do your best and have fun with it."

Pallbearers will be Kyle Edward Meaux, Thomas Keith Meaux, James Ashley Meaux, Stephen Douglas Meaux, Craig Meaux, and Reynold Meaux.

Honorary pallbearer will be Brody Thomas Meaux.
