Keith Iver Paroubek, 72, passed away on Sunday, July 10, 2022, at Mercy Hospital in Rogers, Arkansas. He was residing in Fayetteville, Arkansas, for several months after he, and his wife, moved to be closer to their grandchildren. Keith was survived by his wife Robin, eldest son Yurik (and wife Emily, children Aubrianna and Draeh), and son Nik (and wife Tiffany, children Sawyer and Seraphin). He is also survived by his lone brother Tom Paroubek (and wife Lynn, children Andy, Joe, Mike, and Kara).
Keith was born in Clintonville, Wisconsin, on March 5, 1950, to his parents, Milton and Elaine Paroubek. He graduated high school in Clintonville and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. He worked as a Human Resource Manager during his adulthood both around the Green Bay, Wisconsin, area and later on in Joplin, Missouri. Keith retired from the workforce in 2008 and was able to continue on spending years doing what he loved without interruption: golfing and cheering on Wisconsin sports teams.
Keith coached his children in youth soccer and basketball as well as teaching both boys how to golf. In his younger years, Keith was a multi-sport athlete (ranging from football to baton twirling). As he aged, he favored tennis in early adulthood and eventually became smitten with golf.
He was also smitten with his wife Robin of whom the two celebrated 40 years of marriage in May of this year. Keith was an avid talker who often had a joke or story to tell and he was never shy to lend his advice or opinions about whatever life stirred up.
A celebration of life, open to all, will be held in Springdale, Arkansas, at Westfield Chapel on July 26, starting at 11:00 am. If you would like to pay your respects, memorial donations can be made to the First Tee of Northwest Arkansas.
