Hammond, Keith Duncan: Sadly we announce Keith lost his hard fought battle at Southland Hospital on Sunday, November 24, 2024. Aged 80 years. Keith was the beloved husband of Carolyn, passing the following day after their 50th wedding anniversary. Keith was a devoted and proud father of Grant (Arrowtown), Aaron (Torquay) and Logan, his right hand man. He adored his two grandsons Henry and Mitchell. After 65 lambings and a lifetimes work on Fairview, Limehills, Keith has earned his rest. Dad, time to hang up the boots and hand over the quad bike. Your boys will shut the gate. A service to celebrate Keith’s life will be held in the Winton Presbyterian Church, Meldrum Street on Monday, December 2 at 1.30pm. Interment at the East Winton Cemetery to follow.

I was saddened to hear that Keith has passed. I only met him a few times but he was always happy, keen to share a joke and have a laugh. He was also a very welcoming fella. My thoughts are with you all.

No words can express how heart broken we all are. We were and are so blessed to have had keith in our lives! Carolyn and Kieth are truly our NZ grandparents. Always going above and beyond for our family! It feels like just the other day kieth was determined he was going to bale our 2Ha and made the trip to ours with logan following in the other tractor, in the unpredictable weather. but he did it and what fun we had. He judged the weather just right. Our boys had so much fun. We will miss him so much! We will be sure to always stop in for your amazing baking and cooking Carolyn! you are both so much part of our extended family! We are always here for you in a heartbeat! We would be lost without you all! Sending so much love to you all! Big hugs, love the nicholson family xx

A great man.

Keith was a kind man, that would always help you out if he could.
