Community Mourns the Loss of Keith Smith, Beloved Family Man

Keith Smith, a cherished husband, father, and friend, passed away on December 5, 2025, leaving a profound impact on his family and the Vacaville community. He was born on July 10, 1964, and is survived by his wife, GeorgeAnne Meggers-Smith, their children, Lily Goldhammer and Warren Smith, and granddaughter, Charlotte Goldhammer. His mother, Nancy Smith, and numerous relatives also mourn his loss, while he was preceded in death by his father, Melvin Smith.

Keith spent most of his life in Vacaville, having moved there at the age of five. Aside from a brief period serving in the Army, he remained a dedicated resident of the area. His military service took him to locations such as Kentucky, Colorado, and Germany, where he not only served his country but also indulged in his passion for outdoor activities like biking and skydiving.

Upon returning to Vacaville, Keith rekindled friendships that lasted a lifetime. He was known for his love of music and became a singer in a punk rock band during his high school years. This passion for music would stay with him throughout his life, reflecting his vibrant personality.

In the early 1990s, Keith met his soulmate, GeorgeAnne. Their marriage lasted for 31 years, during which they built a family together. Keith was fondly regarded as the “fun” parent, always prioritizing the needs of his children and friends above his own. His caring nature made him a reliable figure, always just a phone call away for those in need.

Professionally, Keith was a jack-of-all-trades. He worked predominantly in the agriculture and construction industries, while also spending time as an electrician and maintaining parks around Lake Berryessa. Despite his various roles, Keith considered his most significant job to be that of a devoted family man, a role he embraced with pride.

A Celebration of Life honoring Keith will be held on January 4, 2026, at 11:00 AM at the Three Oaks Community Center in Vacaville. Friends and family are invited to pay their respects and share their memories of a man who touched the lives of many.
