Keith Loran (18 Mar 1949 - 17 Nov 2017)
Funeral Director
In loving memory of Keith Loran who sadly passed away on 17th November 2017.
Keith William Loran was born on the 18th March 1949 to Leslie and Eileen Loran. He was born in Perivale and was the eldest of 4 children. He had 2 brothers, Roy and Neil and a sister Lynn. He attended Vincent secondary school in Northolt. When he left school he worked with his Uncle Percy learning electrics.
He was 16 when he met his future wife Sue who lived close by. Keith and Sue were married on the 18th September 1971 at St Nicholas Church in Hayes. They moved into Marlow Gardens, Hayes and Keith started his new job at Wilson and Wylie, which was to be his employment for the next 35 years. A few years after moving into Marlow Gardens they had their first son Scott, followed 3 years later by another son Mark and finally 7 years later James arrived to make the family complete. After outgrowing Marlow Gardens they moved to Raynton Drive in Hayes which was their home until they moved to Bingham, Nottingham in 2006. Keith and Sue were married for 46 years and were blessed with 10 grandchildren, Joe, Mia, Millie, Zak, Shelby, Casey, Holly, Alissa, Isobel and Poppy.
Keith was a great drummer and still had a drum kit at home, where he would perform with James on the guitar. His early days in Driftwood 75 saw him perform with his band mates and he had a keen love for music.
Keith will be fondly remembered for his sense of humor and never failed to make you smile.

Dear Keith
I will never forget how you welcomed me to the Loran family when I first started going out with Neil. The support you gave us when we were looking at our first property and then starting out in married life.
Will always remember your sense of humour... you, Neil and my dad would just bonce off each other. A memory I will always treasure.
Rest in peace Dear Brother in Law, taken far to soon. 😘

Uncle Keith.....
Without your kind and gentle smile
And sweet familiar face
A treasured life is missing
And the worlds a sadder place
You lived your life so graciously
You always did your best
And now your with the angels
And it’s time for you to rest
As peace surrounds you everywhere
In heavenly skies above
Here on Earth your deeply missed
And thought about with love
We see the stars at night time
Shining bright and clear
And as we say goodnight, god bless
We know that you will hear
With love for you always Uncle Keith
Love Dani xxx

Keith we will miss the wicked glint in your eye when you were up to no good (especially at the kid's parties) and the jokes that you found so hilarious.
We can't watch or see Norman Wisdom now without thinking of you and smiling to ourselves.

Uncle Keith,
I will never forget the time you spent with me and mum when Grandad passed. It was so special and I will cherish the memories. You will be remembered for your jokes and your ability to make everyone laugh. Heaven has gained another angel too soon, but I'm sure Grandad and Nanny will be looking after you up there. xxx

Keith,
I would like to start by thanking you for welcoming my sister into your family the way you did. Also for always making me feel welcome & letting me sleep at yours when i was visiting!
You were such a kind man, always took the time to sit & speak to me for hours & i LOVED your banter! I have many jokes that i will always remember, some not so great but the way you put them across with that smile on your face still made me chuckle!
Heaven has gained a legend, an angel that was taken far too soon!
Rest in peace,
Lots of love
Laura, ed & the girls xx

This was Keith being our chauffeur using his 1936 Ford Model Y for our Wedding Day. Keith enthusiasm for this car gave Neil and his support gave Neil the encouragement to restore/own one himself , which he still has today.
Me and my amazing grandad
