LACONIA----- Keith Owen Auber, 48, of Gilford Avenue, passed away on Saturday, December 19, 2020, at the Lakes Region General Hospital.
Keith was born in Providence, RI, on February 15, 1972, to John W. Harboldt Auber and Mary Jane (Dias) Auber. He grew up in Barrington, RI, graduated from Barrington High School in 1990 and attained additional trade training as a diesel mechanic at NETTS. Keith spent his adult life in New Hampshire.
On June 22, 2019, Keith married his loving wife Lisa (Nedeau), a nurse at Laconia Clinic/LRGH. Keith was the Director of Maintenance for Forest View Manor in Meredith, NH. Keith was a wonderful husband, companion and friend. He enjoyed the outdoors, he was a skilled fisherman, avid motorcyclist and loved the challenge of fixing anything. He would always be the first to lend a helping hand and was very kind to anyone or anything who crossed his path. Hence there were always stray animals coming into his life. Keith was quick witted, lovable and had deep faith. Giving back to those that helped along the way led Keith to become a sponsor for AA during his 12 years of sobriety.
Keith is survived by his mother Mary Jane Auber, his wife Lisa Nedeau-Ayers Auber, his stepsons Kyle and Jim Ayers, his siblings Christine M. (David) Roderick of East Providence, RI, John W. Auber (Jennifer) of Barrington, RI, and Monica L. (Michael) Aleixo of Narragansett, RI., his nephew David A. (Ashley) Roderick II and 2 great- nephews Lucas D. and Mason W. Roderick, all of East Providence, RI, along with Peyton and Benjamin Aleixo of Narragansett, RI and Grant and Symantha Auber of Barrington, RI, he also leaves several uncles and aunts and cousins. He is predeceased by his father John W Harboldt Auber.
