Keith D. Loureiro, 53

GILFORD — Keith David Loureiro, 53, of Gilford, passed away suddenly on July 4, 2026.

Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, on May 21, 1973, Keith was one of two children to Dennis and Deborah (Leclair) Loureiro. He was raised in Dracut, Massachusetts, and was a graduate of Lowell Vocational Tech School.

In his freshman year, Keith began his career in auto body, and continued this career throughout his life. This brought him and his wife Jennifer to the Lakes Region, where he most recently worked for Irwin Chevrolet, that he continued to refer to as Cantin's.

Keith was more than proud to be a dad to his five daughters and a papa to his many grandkids. He loved spending his winter nights at the ice rink with the Legends. He enjoyed being in the garage building and working on hot rods and classic trucks, whether it was somebody else's or his own. If you needed a helping hand, he would drop anything that he was doing to help whoever called, even if he had a wise remark to say about it. Keith would end his day with a cold lemonade and a bowl of stove popped popcorn.

He was a big Bruins fan, loving anything hockey, hunting with his cousin Ross, enjoying his camp up north, and four-wheeling with his family.

He will be missed and forever loved by his wife of 26 years, Jennifer; five daughters, Alyssa and her husband Tiago, Amber and her husband Nicolas, Ashley, Kayla and Jordyn; his parents, Dennis and Deborah; close cousins Ross and Amy; mother-in-law Dorothy; three brothers-in-law, Gerard "Jay," Christopher and his wife Suzanne, and Michael and his wife Ismary; five nephews and two nieces, Brandon, Sam, Scott, Stacie, Evan, Isabella and Mason; and four granddaughters and one grandson, Arianna, Audrey, Julianna, Graelyn and Weston. He is predeceased by his sister Krista and father-in-law Richard.

Calling hours will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Friday, July 10, in the Carriage House at the Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant St., Laconia.
