                                            D. Keith Dudley, 67, of Rohrsburg, PA, passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.
Born July 17, 1958, in Lyons, New York, he was the son of Hugh G. Dudley and the late Eleni (Starche) Dudley.
Keith was a Gulfstream pilot who enjoyed a long and accomplished career, flying for various companies including Midstates, Parker Drilling, Mazzio’s Pizza, Brunswick Boats, and Jefferies Financial Group. His work allowed him to travel the world, and one of his most meaningful journeys was a recent trip to Israel. No matter how far his travels took him, Keith loved returning home to Little Green Creek Farm in Rohrsburg—a place that brought him peace and joy.
Throughout his life, Keith was deeply committed to his faith and was an active member of several congregations, including West Barre Methodist Church in Albion, NY; Northside Christian Church in Broken Arrow, OK; Blount Christian Church in Maryville, TN; and most recently, Derrs Christian Church in Derrs, PA.
Keith’s passions were many—he loved flying, farming, fixing things, and playing golf. He enjoyed simple pleasures like drinking ginger ale and eating popcorn, playing solitaire, and cheering for his beloved Oklahoma Sooners football team. Above all, he treasured time spent with his family, especially his grandsons, who affectionately knew him as “Gramps.”
He is survived by his devoted wife of 44 years, Mary (Beales) Dudley, whom he married on July 11, 1981; two sons, Mark Dudley and his wife McKinley, and Jacob Dudley and his wife Whitney; three cherished grandsons, Eli, Ethan, and Noah; his father, Hugh G. Dudley; and siblings Pam (Richard) Farwell, Naomi (Norman) Caldwell, Kerry (James) Panek, Darryl (Thomas) Smith, and Kurt (Kelly) Dudley. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Eleni (Starche) Dudley.
