Wesley Keith

A longtime resident of Searcy, Arkansas, Wesley Daryel Keith, went home to be with the Lord on Oct. 7, 2026.

He is survived by his wife of almost 60 years, Katie, their three children, Stephanie Keith, Melanie Curry (Richard), and Michael Keith (Davida), four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

While serving as a Marine combat helicopter pilot in Vietnam, Wes accepted Christ, beginning a lifelong journey of faith that remained close to his heart and inspired him to share God's love with fellow veterans and countless others throughout his 82 years.

Beyond his warm, effortless smile and jolly disposition, Wes will be remembered most as a loving and devoted husband and father.

Wes's family will gather privately to celebrate his life. Please consider honoring his memory with a donation to Friends for Life Pregnancy Center in Searcy, Arkansas, a cause he was proud to support.

Arrangements were entrusted to Platt's Funeral Home, 337 N. Belair Road, Evans, GA 30809 (706) 860-6166. Please take a moment to share your condolences by signing the online guestbook at plattsfuneralhome.com.
