Douglass (Pete) Keigley of Bella Vista, AR, born July 20, 1934, passed away June 23, 2021.

Pete graduated from Boone High School in 1952 and married Janet Chadwick in 1953 in Boone, IA. They were married for 56 years until her passing in 2009. They raised two daughters, Pam and Diane, in Fort Dodge, IA. His careers included plumbing and heating contracting and insurance brokerage.

In his youth he raced motorcycles. Recently he sang in the Little Ole Opry, hamming it up onstage. He loved to travel and to scuba-dive the world's oceans. During retirement he designed and built many woodworking treasures for family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife Jan and his mother and father, Dorothy Thulin and John Keigley.
