Keith Terrell

Keith Harmon Terrell, 72, passed away Feb. 16, 2026, following a lengthy illness. He was born May 26, 1953, to John and Marjorie Terrell in Kingfi sher.

Keith graduated from Dover Public Schools and began a lifelong career in the oilfield.

On May 20, 1972, he married the love of his life, Susan Earnheart. Together they built a family and a life defined by hard work, loyalty and love, raising three children: Brian, Leslie and James.

Keith retired from Key Energy Services after 48 years of dedicated service, having worked as a well service rig operator, tool pusher and field mechanic. He was a man known for his skill and ingenuity — able to fix nearly anything with his hands and his mind.

As he often joked, “I can fix almost anything, but I can’t fix stupid.”

When something broke, when someone was stranded, stuck in the mud or simply in over their head, Keith was the one everyone called. And he always came — bringing calm demeanor, capability and a solution.

He is survived by his siblings John and Carol Terrell; Richard and Ladonna Terrell; Dana Terrell; and Brenda Terrell. He is also survived by his beloved siblings-inlaw, Joe and Pam Davis and Edmund and Shirley Earnheart.

Keith leaves behind his children Brian and Angela Terrell; James and Alexandria Terrell; and Leslie Terrell. He was a proud grandfather to Erika Terrell; Troy Melton Sr.; Lexi Davis and her partner Christina Lancaster; Sage Koberna; Haley Rose; Amber Everett; Derrick May; and Jackson and Kimberly May. He was also blessed with great-grandchildren Iris, Aurelia, Troy Jr., Theo and Josephine.

Keith’s legacy lives in the many lives he helped, the lessons he quietly taught and the family he loved. He was dependable, honest and strong — a man you could count on when it mattered most.

Services will be held at Dover Christian Church at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 23. Interment will follow at Banner Cemetery.

Arrangements are entrusted to Sanders Funeral Home of Kingfisher.
