Keith Nathaniel Bagwell, life of the party

Keith Nathaniel Bagwell, 58, of Milton, passed away at Beebe Healthcare Friday, July 1, 2022. 

Keith was born in Accomack County, Va., to the late William T. and Vivian O. Bailey Bagwell. 

He was employed by Allen’s Poultry Plant in Hurlock until becoming disabled. Keith was a member of St. John Second Baptist Church in Millsboro. In his free time, he enjoyed traveling by car and riding around, especially visiting the Eastern Shore of Virginia.  He can be described as the life of the party, a happy-go-lucky, people person, who loved to laugh and joke around, but he would also tell you like it was; he did not sugarcoat.  Keith was a wonderful father, brother, pop pop, uncle, and friend who will be dearly missed.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by three siblings, Peggy Bagwell, Robert Bagwell and William Bagwell.

He is survived by two sons, Keith Eley (Toishaun) of Milton, and Tyshia Partlow of Wilmington. He has three sisters, Marion Bagwell of Laurel, Vivian Bagwell of Laurel, and Brinda Bailey of Bridgeville; and one brother, Jerome Bailey (Tonisha) of Cambridge, Md.; two aunts, Annie Jeanette Bailey of Millsboro, and Rose Pryon of Virginia; one uncle, Henry Bailey of Smyrna; and a sister-in-law, Deborah Bagwell of Millsboro.  Keith also leaves behind five grandchildren: Vynaiza, Lavay, Tyshia Jr., Tyshay Jr. and Keith Jr.; as well as two great-grandsons, Jahmez and Dishere.  He is also survived by three special friends, Stanley, Terry and Mel; as well as extended family and friends.

A memorial service will be held at noon, Saturday, July 23, at St. John’s Second Baptist Church, 26602 Mt. Joy Road, Millsboro.  Interment will be private.
