Keith Wilkerson, good-hearted man

Keith Wilkerson, 58, of Felton, passed away Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025, after suffering a sudden cardiac event while he was courageously battling against advanced cancer.

Born June 29, 1967, Keith will be remembered for his determined spirit, and remarkable talent for fixing and building things.

Throughout his life, Keith worked in a variety of trades and took pride in every job he completed. He spent many years working as a professional painter and operated his own handyman business. His dedication, craftsmanship, and willingness to help others earned him the respect of many.

He loved fishing and crabbing, watching football, especially cheering on the Dallas Cowboys, and following NASCAR races.

Keith is survived by his daughter, Victoria Wilkerson of Millsboro, who was one of his greatest joys; his girlfriend of 20 years, Terry Miller of Felton and her other family members, including Terry’s children who thought of him as a stepdad. He is also survived by his sister, Sandra Wilkerson Culp and her husband William; and three nieces, Seraphina, Mikaela and Gavriella Culp.

Keith was preceded in death by his parents, Ronald and Patricia Wilkerson; his brother, Ronald Wilkerson; his paternal grandparents, Clarence and Ethel Wilkerson; his maternal grandparents, Raymond and Frances Quillen; and his uncle, Norman Quillen.

Keith will be remembered as a good-hearted, helpful man who loved his family deeply. His quiet strength, willingness to help others, and his gift for hands-on work left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him. He will be greatly missed.

A graveside service will be held at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 3, at Woodlawn Memorial Park, 26808 DuPont Blvd., Millsboro.
