MCFARLAND: Keith of Lucan

August 29, 1953 – November 29, 2023

Passed away peacefully with his family by his side at LHSC – Victoria Hospital on Wednesday, November 29, 2023 of Lucan, at the age of 70. Loving husband of Kathy (Kropf) McFarland for over 46 years. Proud dad of Shallon and Willy Partridge, and Aaron McFarland and Terra Maxey. Cherished grandpa of Jakob, and Sydnee; Alex Maxey (Emily). Dear brother of Jane Scott, and Bill McFarland. Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews and the entire Kropf family. Predeceased by his brother Bob McFarland, and his brother-in-law Bob Scott.

Keith did not live his life to arrive at the gravesite safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting….HOLY CRAP….WHAT A RIDE!!!!!

A private family graveside will be held at St. John’s Cemetery, Arva.

Donations to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 540 (Lucan Legion) would be appreciated by the family.
