OBITUARY
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent From this body and to be present with the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 5:8
PROLOGUE: A GENTLE GIANT IS BORN
On Monday, July 27, 1959, in Nassau, Bahamas, Keith Alverne Miller was born to proud parents Leroy and Sybil Miller. As the youngest of nine sons among fourteen siblings, Keith grew up in a vibrant household filled with love, laughter, discipline, and faith. His gentle nature, humility, and intelligence stood out even from a young age, and his siblings recall his unique spirit and unshakable bond with the entire Miller clan.
Raised in a home that instilled strong values and reverence for God, Keith would go on to become a revered spiritual leader, a skilled craftsman, a devoted family man, and a beacon of calm strength to all who knew him.
CHAPTER ONE: A BRILLIANT MIND, A HUMBLE SPIRIT
Keith was a joy-filled and inquisitive child who excelled academically. He began his education at Prep #1 at age four and graduated from Palmdale Primary by the age of nine. His outstanding performance earned him a place at the prestigious Government High School, where made numerous life long friends before he graduated at just 15 years old in June 1975. He sported a fantastic afro and a sense of fashion that was unmatched by his classmates.
His brilliance and work ethic were soon evident in the professional world. Keith’s first job was with Bahamas Airways (now Bahamasair), but he quickly pursued greater challenges, joining Navios Shipping Corporation. Outshining over seventy other candidates, he became the youngest employee in the company’s history. By 1978, he was working in New York, mentored by the late Clyde Bethel, and after four successful years, he returned home to the Bahamas.
Throughout his career, Keith left a lasting impact at several notable organizations, including Abaco Markets Limited, Furniture Plus, Super Value, Sports Center, and Mario’s Bowling Palace. However, his greatest professional joy and most memorable work came from construction. Construction was not just a career; it was a calling, and the structures he left behind remain a testament to his dedication and skill.
CHAPTER TWO: A MAN OF FAITH AND WORDS
Keith’s deep love for God guided every area of his life. He was an active and committed member of St. Mark’s Native Baptist Church, where he served faithfully, rising from deacon to Reverend. Known for his humility, wisdom, and clarity, Keith was a gifted preacher and teacher who believed in “rightly dividing the word of truth.” His messages were thoughtful, transformative, and deeply rooted in scripture.
He had a particular gift for writing — crafting sermons, speeches, and lessons that inspired ministers and congregants alike. In 2018, he authored a book on relationships entitled Women Want Love, Men Want Respect, offering insight and biblical wisdom that reflected his experience and passion for helping others grow in love and understanding.
For Keith, ministry was his purpose. He saw his role as a soul-winner for Christ, and his quiet strength in the pulpit left an indelible mark on many lives.
CHAPTER THREE: LOVE AND FAMILY — A LEGACY IN MOTION
Keith was a committed, loving, and passionate family man. His first marriage was blessed with three children: Jerard, Melissa, and Keith Allyn. Later, he joyfully welcomed his fourth child, a beautiful daughter named Khaaliyah. As a dedicated father, he nurtured his children with love, discipline, and unwavering support.
Though his first marriage came to an end, Keith remained positive and deeply committed to his children, his work, and his church community. Years later, Keith found love again when he met Junilor in church, where she regularly attended his Bible study. She quickly fell for this “gentle giant” of a man, captivated by his brilliance, charm, and deep love for God. Their love story culminated in marriage on May 31, 2014. Together, they built a beautiful family, welcoming three more children: Ethan (stepson), KeiAnna, and Keiden.
Together with his seven children, Keith’s marriage to Junilor offered him a deep sense of peace and comfort that would give him the strength to reenergize him for the rest of his life. Keith embraced every part of what it means to be family — celebrating milestones, offering guidance, and leading his wife, children, siblings, nieces and nephews with quiet strength, integrity & quite often a joke.
CHAPTER FOUR: IN NATURE, HE FOUND GOD
Whether sharing stories of fishing and scuba diving, making new paths through the bush or building beneath the open sky, Keith’s excitement for nature was infectious. He taught his children and grandchildren to appreciate the beauty in the everyday — the stillness of morning, the rhythm of waves, the wonder of each creature and the wisdom of the wind.
Keith also had a love for bowling, often enjoying the camaraderie and fun that came with the game. A certified scuba diver, he found great peace beneath the waves, exploring the beauty of marine life with the same awe he held for the land and sky. At home, he often played many games with backgammon, being the game that brought him joy, laughter, and friendly competition with loved ones. He always claimed if he lost it was because he let you win never because of his lack of skill.
CHAPTER FIVE: A LIFE WELL LIVED
Keith Alverne Miller’s earthly journey ended peacefully on March 19, 2025, at home, surrounded by the love of the family he had built, led, and cherished. He faced his final days with the same grace, courage, and incredible faith that defined his life. Never one to complain, his favorite saying when asked how he was doing is “getting better everyday!”
He leaves behind a legacy rich in love, service, and wisdom. As a reverend, he ministered with heart. As a contractor, he built with excellence. As a husband and father, he loved with depth. And as a brother, uncle, and friend he gave freely of himself.
Keith’s presence was a gift to all who knew him. His life was a sermon of faith in action — quiet, powerful, and enduring.
Epilogue: Words of Gratitude and Remembrance

CONGREGATIONAL HYMN | “I’m Glad I Counted the Cost”
When first I started to seek the Lord
I laid my sorrows at Jesus’ feet, I’m glad I counted the cost;
I’m glad I counted the cost I fully measured to Jesus’ word, And now I’ve pleasured so pure and sure I’m glad I counted the cost
I’m glad I counted the cost
Chorus:
I’ve paid the price and obtained the prize I’ve bid farewell to this world of sin, He saved my soul that was lost,
I’m glad I counted the cost And now my treasures are in the skies
And now my Jesus abides within, I’m glad I counted the cost
I’m glad I counted the cost
Although the trials seem hard to bear
‘Twill not be long til the Lord shall come I’m glad I counted the cost
I’m glad I counted the cost I now my burdens with Jesus share
And bear my soul to that heavenly home I’m glad I counted the cost
I’m glad I counted the cost

RECESSIONAL HYMN | ”It’s Alright Now”
There was a time I traveled
A lonely sinful road
Beneath a heavy burden bending low
But now all things are different
For Jesus took my load
It’s alright now for I’m His I know
Chorus:
It’s alright now
For I am in my Savior’s care
It’s alright now
My Savior hears and answers prayer
He’ll walk beside me
‘Til I climb the heav’nly stair
And everything is alright now
A-down a lonely pathway
Without a friend to guide
I walked in sin and sorrow all alone
Til Jesus came and found me
And drew me to His side
It’s alright now for I’m His own
No more in sin I wander
No more in darkness roam
The Lord has placed
My feet on higher ground
Each day new heights I’m gaining
My soul is nearing home
It’s alright now I’m heaven bound
TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED HUSBAND
AND BEST FRIEND
Fifteen short years ago, I met the man who would capture my heart. I watched you deliver countless sermons and teachings in Bible study, never imagining that love would find me in that season of my life.
I remember how your face lit up every time you stood before a crowd to preach. You were confident, passionate, and filled with wisdom. And yet, beneath that strength, you possessed a gentleness that was undeniable.
I admired your love for God, your brilliance, and your way with words. I never expected a man who stood so tall and strong to be so thoughtful and kind. We would talk on the phone for hours, often until the morning, yet we never tired of each other’s voices. You would send me poetry throughout the day—words so beautiful that I could hardly believe you had written them yourself. You told me I was your muse, that I inspired you. And in return, you captured my heart. You used to joke that I couldn’t resist “the Miller boy charm”—and you were right. I fell deeply in love with you, and when you asked me to be your wife, there was no hesitation.
You often said that God had placed you in my life for a reason— that I needed to be rescued, that I needed balance. You believed in the power of faith beyond what my heart could comprehend. When our children faced challenges, you never wavered. You declared, with absolute certainty, that God would heal them. You often reminded me, “God is going to lift the fog one day. I will walk Kei-Anna down the aisle, and Keiden will go further than I ever did, preaching the gospel around the world. Kei-Anna will be a praise and worship leader, playing the piano.” That was the faith you carried, the prophecy you spoke over their lives, and no one could convince you otherwise. And as time went on, as we saw them overcome and grow, you would smile and remind me of what you had believed from the start. You deeply cared for Ethan and always made him feel included. He saw you as a father figure, even calling you “Dad,” and you embraced that role wholeheartedly. From having meaningful, man-to-man conversations during your drives to and from school to offering him guidance on navigating relationships, you were always there to support and advise him.
We built a life filled with love, faith, and shared dreams. We prayed together, studied the Word together, laughed together, cooked together, and stole away for quiet moments—whether it was a spa day, a lunch date, or simple pillow talk. Family was everything to you. You often said that you lived a “charmed life,” blessed with
immense favor. “Who else gets to do life over again?” you would say with a smile. “I’ve been favored all my life.”
When we received the diagnosis of prostate cancer, my world crumbled. But you, my love, stood as a pillar of strength. Even in the midst of your greatest battle, you continued to encourage me and everyone around you. You always reminded us, “This battle is not mine—it belongs to the Lord.” Even in pain, when people asked how you were doing, your answer remained the same: “Getting better every day.” You didn’t want others to worry. You were determined to speak life.
My love, my sweet pea—the priest of our home, the father of my children—nothing could have prepared me for losing you. My heart aches in a way that only God can heal. But I promise you this: I will continue to instill godly values in our children and nurture the gifts God has placed in them. I will always remind them of the father who loved them beyond measure, who prayed over them, who left behind a legacy of faith, strength, and love.
You lived a life that made us all proud, and I will forever love you, Keith.
Until we meet again, my love.
Keith Alverne Miller, my father, a giant of a man. His always positive energy , charisma and gentle smile could lift any dark cloud, and make it feel ok. No matter what was going on in his life, when asked how he was his reply was always “yea man, Im in tip top shape” or ”Getting better by the minute…...”, with a big bright smile. My Papa was a sweet, kind, humble, loving, family man and everyone that met him was instantly swept away by his charm. There will never be another like him, ever. He was the real definition of “one of a kind”. If nothing else, he taught me how to have patience and how to love, and that family always comes first! You will always be with me Papa, and I will always love you. Your legacy will live on in all the hearts of the people that you’ve touched. I’m forever grateful and blessed to have been raised and loved by such a pure and sincere heart.
Until we meet again Papa, your beloved son, Jerard
Papa, I’m so grateful God chose you to be my father. Your steady presence, quiet strength, and unwavering love shaped my life in many ways. You didn’t need words to show love — it was in how you consistently showed up, how you intently listened, and how you easily made everyone feel valued. You were “Papa Keith” and “Uncle Keith” to so many of my cousins in both the Miller and Munnings families as well as to friends who became family. Always dependable, full of wisdom (the first human version of Google) and well armed with a joke. You found joy in the little things and lived your faith deeply, even in your final days. It was truly miraculous to witness your palpable connection to God which sustained your always positive outlook.
Your legacy lives on — in the way I love God & Ray-Don, cherish life and parent my children. I see you in Raegan’s sharp wit and Reign’s quiet determination, and I’ll always treasure that you christened Reign’s on your last Sunday at St. Mark’s where you and Mummy also raised me with a firm foundation in Christ.
I miss you every day, Papa. Thank you for the countless quiet ways you loved us. Until we meet again, I’ll keep walking in faith, carrying your love with me always.
I love you, Keith Alverne You did it your way.
Love eternally,
Your My-Lissa
Melissa
Keith, I remember the day Mama brought you home from the hospital, white, plump, long, beautiful curly black hair and handsome. Keith, you were the most quiet and obedient of us all. I could never figure out how you could love Bob so much as you were completely opposites. To me, Keith you were a genius, who could solve any Math, Physics, Computer, telephone, electrical or mechanical problem. How did you do it, an “A” student who never studied and found school boring. I thought you would become a doctor, lawyer, accountant, the CEO of a large corporation, Prime Minister or a trader on Wall Street, because you were just that intelligent. When you became a Christian you became like Paul, articulate, knowledgeable, wise and a man of great understanding of the Word of God. You possessed a faith like no other and was full of the Holy Ghost. You were a man of the Word, who studied night and day, to show himself approved unto God and who was always ready to become whatever to win the lost. Your zeal and zest to preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ was unmatched, as you
were always ready. You were an example not only to me but the body of Christ, for you were not just a teacher or preacher of the Word, but a doer, you lived what you preached. Keith these are just a few words to describe who you were, soft spoken, witty, an encourager, loyal, faithful, fearless, truthful, humble, honest, dependable, committed and loving. You were truly, “A man for all seasons”. Keith you never took anything serious, you believed this too shall pass, so ride it out because God is in control. Your favorite scriptures Psalm 27 and 1 Corinthians 15: 50-58 will forever be etched in my mind. Keith you were sent on a mission, you completed it with distinction and I’m confident you received the greatest commendation, “Well done, my good and faithful servant”. Keith, you have left us with a rich legacy and an amazing testimony. I love you, Carrington, our children and grandchildren miss you, but I will never let you out of my heart, this is not goodbye, but until we meet again. Love, your big sister, Sabrina
Growing up in a family with nine Brothers and four sisters, wasn’t always easy. We all had different personalities. Keith, our youngest brother was truly the easiest one to deal with. Whenever I heard the song “Don’t worry, be happy”, I always thought of him.
Academically he was brilliant and researched deeply what he was interested in. I enjoyed hearing him preach. Keith made the sermon come alive and the message became real to all who heard it. I will miss you Keith but rejoice knowing you are with God and our family members who went ahead.
Love you, Zoe
There are so many wonderful memories that a book cannot contain them all. Keith the times at GHS, having to get your lunch because you were busy playing chess, to you teaching me how to defend myself because I was ‘biggity’ will always bring a smile to my face. Your actions were always kind, A generous hand and a brilliant mind, So Anxious to please and loath to offend, A loving brother and faithful friend. Our beautiful memories shared will provide me comfort during this difficult time. Keith, you left our lives, but you will never leave our hearts. Will be Missing & Loving you always, Your baby sis, Sherry
Keith was a wonderful brother, with a giving heart. He was also a great husband, father and family man. His wisdom was beyond his years. Miss you, Keith and I will always keep you in my heart.
Your loving brother, Don
Keith, My beloved brother. I think of the many times, through the years, you and I have had spiritual, philosophical, and occult discourses, sometimes wrestling, espousing new concepts that we were at the time exploring, sometimes in total disagreement, but most times experiencing the joy, almost bliss, that we felt when we struck harmonious chords of agreement. Such were the times when one could say what the other was going to say before they said it, and we were always keenly aware of God’s Holy Spirit in the midst. During the course of a lifetime such unity of spirit, such synchronous meetings of the minds, are few and far between. I was fortunate to have had you as my brother and my friend, and I am grateful for the short time that we had together. I shall miss you profoundly Light and Love, Terry
My beloved brother, we miss you so very much. To us your passing was untimely. You left us too soon. It seems so surreal. We will always cherish your radiant smile and your relaxed and focused demeanor.
The road was rough, but you fought a great fight and won the battle. Take your rest. Forever in our hearts.
Love, Rudolph (Rabbie) & Ireatta
There were fourteen of us in our Miller clan, each one described in different ways. Keith was the jovial one; lighthearted, happy-go-lucky and always smiling. He could make a joke out of any circumstance and usually did. He practiced the art of letting go and having faith that everything would work out. His faith in God was unwavering. Keith’s departure has left a void in our closely knitted family. We are now left to treasure the memories of times spent together over the laughter and tears. I will miss his smile and the twinkle in his eyes, that told you he was coming with a good one to make us all laugh. With love, Nell
K - Kindness personified
E - Enthusiastic about life
I - Innovative in Ministry
T - Tolerant with others
H- Hunble always
These are just a few words that I could use to describe Keith. I would never know another person more caring, gentle, understanding or non judgemental than Keith.
The days we spent together, sometimes from, the time he dropped the kids to school until it was time to pick them up were precious. The conversations we had, sharing our goals, dreams, failures, mistakes, disappointments, jokes and sermons we preached or were preparing to reach. You always had me in awe with your unusual unique openings to your messages.
I thank you for the bond that we developed over the years. Thank you for all the advice, encouragement and sometimes the warnings that you gave me. I will miss spending time with you but I will always cherish what we had, I will never stop missing you or loving you, my brother, my friend, my confidante.
Your baby sister, Carrie.
July 27, 1959, I learnt that I had a twin brother. Reason being, Keith was born 11 months and 27 days later. During the 1960’s we grew together through Pine Dale Road.
Spinning tops, shooting marbles, heisting kites, with the corner boys- Maynards, Cunninghams, Richard and others.
Climbing trees and of course shooting poor little innocent birds (with sling shots and BB guns) Every year (as far back as I can remember) I would remind Keith (or he reminded me) that we’re the same age again…. me being 361 days older than Keith. On July 27th, 2024, both of us were 65. This was our last physical time of being twins for 4 days. As I keep saying …. DON’T BLINK…. Because that’s how fast life passes, and the most important thing is not to miss anything pertaining to those you love.
I will always be your twin.
Love Bob
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY BELOVED BROTHER, KEITH.
Keith, you were a young soul who brought so much love and light into this world. You were the first of Mama’s children to be born in Pinedale, making our house feel truly like a home. As the baby boy of the family, you filled our lives with joy and warmth from the very beginning.
You were my constant companion during holidays and summers, always by my side when I came home from high school and college. No matter where I went, you were there, eager to share in every moment. You were Mama’s special one—a reflection of pure love and innocence. Handsome, smart, and humble, you embodied the goodness of the world. Your kindness and compassion knew no bounds.
Keith, you were always the peaceful one, a calm spirit who never complained. You went with the flow of life, never needing discipline, and never expressing anger or frustration.
You spoke in the language of love,To me, you were the true embodiment of purity at heart. Your life was an example of how we should love others—without hesitation, without judgment, and without condition. You 2. 3. 4. 5. were a gift to all who knew you, a treasure that will forever live on in our hearts.
Rest in peace, my dear brother. You will always be my little shadow, my loving, peaceful one. Though you left this world too soon, your spirit will continue to live in us. We will honor your memory in every moment of love we give. I am comforted knowing you are now with Daddy, Mama, Hardy, Glen, our sisters, Tiffany, Mario, and the twins. I know you will watch over Mario, the babies, and all of us. We continue to thank God for you every day of our lives.
Love forever Leslie
