In Memory
Keith Allen Rohl
Keith
Allen Rohl passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 27, 2024 due to a sudden
but brief illness.
Keith
was born in Calgary, Alberta to Kenneth and Helen Rohl. He was an impetuous
child going from one thing to the other. At age 5 he put his dad’s car into
reverse and almost hit a fire hydrant across the street.
Keith
worked at several different jobs including with his dad. He spent many years
growing his window washing business and enjoyed snowplowing in the winter.
Keith
was always a “people person” and made friends easily. He had a number of “rough
years” but with a lot of prayer and the help of good friends and his AA family,
he was able to turn his life around and use his experiences for good. Keith’s
help and wide-influence to those struggling with addictions is something his
family was very thankful and proud of.
Keith
loved animals (especially horses) and enjoyed camping, quadding and
snowmobiling with his AA friends in the Burnt Timber area.
Keith
loved his children and worked hard to grow closer to them in the last few
years. This included training them in his window washing business.
Keith
was predeceased by both sets of his grandparents and a brother, Kelly Rohl. He
is survived by his parents, Kenneth and Helen Rohl; his daughter, Kayla Bonnie
Rohl (Ty Munro); his son, Brandon Alexander B. Rohl; his brother, Jim Rohl
(Janice); his sister, Cheryl Friesen (John) and numerous nieces and nephews and
their children.
At
Keith’s request, a Celebration of Life will be held at Golden Rod Community
Hall, west of Airdrie on the corner of highways 567 & 772 (west on
Veteran’s Blvd.), on Sunday, September 8, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.
If
family and friends so desire, memorial tributes can be made to the Alberta
Cancer Foundation.

I met Keith the snow plow guy, the day I hired him. A very hard and dedicated employee and always put the company first.
Truly sad to hear of his passing.
Words are tough to come by but he was a great man and I truly respected how he faced his demons.

My dad was the best father a girl could ever ask for. He was always there for me when I needed him. We grew closer over the years when I started working with him, those times I will cherish forever, I’m glad I got to work with him and learn the business. Words can’t describe how grateful I am that I got to spend those 4yrs working with him and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Dad I miss you so much, I love you daddy!!
