Keith Lampard

Dec. 20, 1945 - Aug. 30, 2020

Keith was born in Warrington, England. In 1949, Keith and his family sailed on H.M.S. Caronia from Southampton to New York, making their home in Portland, Ore.

Keith excelled at sports from a young age. From Little League baseball to a Madison state championship to later playing right field for the Houston Astros, Keith was known for his patience and determination. At Madison, Keith was a powerhouse at bat and frequently sent balls over the right field fence and through the window of a house across the street, necessitating a higher fence, aptly called "Lampard's Fence".

After graduating from the University of Oregon, Keith played professional baseball from 1965 to 1971 and went on to become a teacher, counselor and baseball coach in Texas and Oregon.

An animal lover, avid golfer and wood-worker, Keith enjoyed these things along with helping people in his community and working on his property in Lincoln City with his wife Sandi and their llamas, dogs and cats. He will be remembered for his humility, warmth, kindness and generosity.

He is survived by his wife, Sandi; daughter, Melinda; and sister, Carol.
