Keith A. Muir, 62, of Emmaus, passed away peacefully on July 4, 2026 in his home, surrounded by his family. He was the devoted husband of Melanie D. (Landis) Muir.

Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Keith was the son of the late Roland and Julie (Krupski) Muir. A son of the Canadian prairies, he grew up playing hockey, skiing, and boating on the lakes he loved. From a young age he chased what he wanted with a drive that never let up. He obsessed over his sports cars and trained with soldier-like discipline to build the physique of his movie hero of the era, Arnold. He pulled his closest friends into the gym to match his commitment. No one was harder on Keith than himself, and that drive carried him to everything that followed.

As a young man, Keith set his sights on California, and nothing was going to stop him. He got his start in Mazatlán, Mexico, selling condo projects. He quickly became a top seller, and by the age of 23, he was running a ten-person team - his broken Spanish finding its legs along the way. In California, he landed at one of the country's largest Corvette dealerships. A natural-born salesman, he was soon its top performer. He then carried that drive into a successful finance career with Wells Fargo. The birth of his first son, Michael, only sharpened his ambition. Impeccably dressed and unmistakable in any room, Keith had long dreamed of a California soulmate. In Melanie, that dream took shape – “Ken” finally found his “Malibu Barbie.” They married in 2007, and the life he had always imagined began.

Keith's love of cooking came from his mother, and he carried her gift for entertaining forward, trading recipes with friends and treating everyone at his table like family. He demanded the best of everything – the finest food, wines, cigars, and cars. Having grown up with little, he shared that good fortune freely, taking pride in the family and home he had always dreamed of. He brought energy into every room and had a gift for lifting people when they were down. He loved a good celebration and was always the last to leave, never wanting the night to end.

A tremendous storyteller and self-professed comedian, Keith had no use for boredom. He held onto a young man's curiosity, always current on the latest fashion, trends, and music. He was forever eager to share his newest favorite artists with anyone who would listen. He kept life in constant motion and loved nothing more than making people laugh – and the friends who could make him laugh in return. Anyone who felt his infectious laugh, his Hollywood smile, or a word of his praise can attest it could lift your spirits for days. He did whatever it took to make his guests feel special. He had an unrivaled need for speed and a love of anything with an engine: motocross in California's Saddleback Mountains, sand rails in the dunes of Glamis, quads, Harleys at the Sturgis rally, jet skis, and sports cars. There wasn't a machine he couldn't master. He was happiest with his pals along for the ride.

Above all, Keith's greatest joy was his family. He boasted endlessly of his wife and children, who were the reason behind everything he did and drove him to work ever harder to give them the life he had not had. When Keith moved from California to Pennsylvania, he returned to the auto business, his roots. His natural gift for leadership quickly carried him to Vice President and General Manager of the Star Car dealerships in Easton, where he inspired the people around him to be better at what they did. He loved his work and his colleagues. Yet for all his drive, he cherished nothing more than the time he spent with his family out on the water at their coastal homes. He was a member of St. Thomas More Catholic Church, a member of the Lehigh Country Club, a member and past president of GLVADA, and a member of the NCM 20 Group.

In the end, Keith met his final battle with the same determination he brought to everything else, refusing to give in. Those fortunate enough to share that time with him remain astonished at his resilience. Through it all, it was his deep love for his family, his zest for life, and his renewed faith that kept him standing longer than any man could have endured. He fought every day, right up to the last.

These facts are attested to be true by his Canadian “brothers” who were there from the start - Steve & Grant. God bless his family. May he be charming everyone in Heaven.

Keith is survived by his loving wife of 18 years, Melanie; sons, Michael Muir and wife Meghen (Carpinelli) and Landon Edward Muir; daughter, Mia Elizabeth Muir; grandchildren, Miranda and Marina; brother, Greg Muir and wife Tina; sister, Jean Muir; and his nieces and nephews, Maria, Julia, Jesse, Danielle, and Jaime. He was predeceased by his mother and father and brother, Jaime.
