Obituary for Keith Joseph Grieman

Keith Joseph  Grieman
Keith Joseph Grieman of Red Deer, Alberta, passed away at Drayton Valley, Alberta on Tuesday, February 2, 2016 at the age of 51 years. Keith was born on October 9, 1964 to Arnold and Bernice (nee Trainor) Grieman at Humboldt, Saskatchewan. Shortly after receiving his education in Humboldt, he moved to Saskatoon, where he started his career in Sales, beginning with Ens Toyota. Keith married Annette Gerspacher on July 28, 1990 and they recently celebrated their Twenty-fifth Wedding Anniversary. In 1991, they moved to Red Deer, Alberta, where he was employed with Red Deer Toyota and currently with Zep Inc. The couple was blessed with two beautiful daughters: Thea in October 2000 and Celina in January 2003. Keith loved and adored his three girls and family was first and foremost in his heart. Camping, vacations, and road trips to the Humboldt area were a big part of their time together. He was kept busy with the girls’ dance and other activities. Keith took great pleasure in seeing his daughters’ achievements and academic successes. Keith was everything to the girls; he was their rock. Keith was an avid sports fan. He started young playing baseball and High School football with the Humboldt Mohawks. He enjoyed golf, although he had less time for it in recent years. As a youth, he would throw his clubs on his back and bike to the golf course after school. He played slow-pitch in Saskatoon and recently with the Knights of Columbus, the last two summers. He cheered for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Edmonton Oilers; and he followed several other teams. He gave unselfishly of his time and talent in the community. Keith enjoyed the friendship and fellowship of the Knights of Columbus at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. He organized the pancake breakfasts, turkey and spaghetti suppers, basketball and golf tournaments, garage sales and other charitable initiatives. In September 2015, he was appointed Grand Knight. People were everything to him. Customers were his friends. Friends were practically family. Family was priceless to Keith.
“Rest in peace sweet angel. You are in our hearts forever.”
Keith will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Annette Grieman (nee Gerspacher) and his daughters; Thea Grieman and Celina Grieman, all of Red Deer.
