On Friday, August 26 2016  Keith passed away with his family beside him after losing a short battle with Cancer.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his  loving wife Kelli of 16 years,   daughter  Mandy (Adam)   Ashely and Lindsey   and granddaughter   Cali Sam.    Mom Lillian Pozzobon  Sister  Cheryl (Kelly) Thompson, Brother  Kevin (Bonnie)   and Nephews   Denny and Travis Thompson.   Nieces  Tannis Kelsey and Alana

Predeceased by his Father Sammy in 2008 and  his  idol  Robbie Pozzobon 1976 and several other family members dear to Keith. 

Keith was born in Kamloops  and lived his entire life in the Pritchard area.   Keith spent his entire life  being a cowboy – starting at the young age of  4 riding in the cattle liners with his dad.  Then  when he was big enough to swing a rope he was entering Little Britches Rodeos moved on to High School rodeo and continued onto  the IRA/BCRA winning numerous  Calf Roping Buckles  then moved on to the Ranks of the CPRA rodeo trail where he  has millions of stories of the fun he had with his Rodeo Family.  After retiring  from calf roping he focused more on team roping but his true  passion became  mentoring young up and coming  ropers  for many years in the famous Pozzobon Indoor Arena.

A Cowboy Send Off  will be   Friday   September 2  at 1 pm   Rodeo Time  at the Pozzobon Indoor Arena     4624  Shuswap Road

In Lieu of flowers   Keith loved Rodeo  so  he  would love to support the Little Britches  Rodeo
