Sir Keith Gordon Munro, 7th Baronet of Lindertis, passed away on May 6, 2026, at the age of 67.
Born on May 3, 1959, in Norwalk, Connecticut, Keith made his home in Warren and Waitsfield, Vermont, and was proud to be part of the Mad River Valley community. He was the beloved son of Sir Alasdair “Atty” Ian Thomas Munro, sixth Baronet of Lindertis, and Lady Marguerite “Maggie” Munro.
Keith is survived by his son, Zachary A. Munro of Salt Lake City, Utah; his daughter, Mackenzie C. Munro, and her fiancé, Luke Russell, of Waterbury, Vermont; his sister, Karen F. MacMichael of New London, New Hampshire; his nephews, Josh and Blake MacMichael; and Jada E. Munro of Waitsfield, Vermont, the mother of his children; and extended family.
Keith attended Cardigan Mountain School and graduated from Kimball Union Academy. Early in life, he discovered a love for culinary arts and hospitality, building a career that took him from a stint in St. Croix to several cherished Vermont establishments, including Sam Rupert’s, Sugarbush Inn, Olde Tyme’s, and Paradise Deli & Market.
An avid skier, Keith proudly held onto every season pass over the years, taught his children to ski, and rarely missed an opportunity to enjoy the mountains he loved. He also enjoyed fishing and treasured trips to Fenway Park to watch the Boston Red Sox.
Keith held a lifelong enthusiasm for motorcycles and automobiles and was always eager to share his knowledge, opinions, and passion with others. Of the motorcycles he owned, his BMW R1200GS Adventure was his favorite. On any sunny Vermont day, Keith could often be found somewhere along the open road, happily adding miles to the bike.
Keith was deeply capable and resourceful—a man who believed nearly anything could be built, repaired, or improved with enough determination and care. From rebuilding motorcycles to additions to the family home, he approached projects with ingenuity and confidence.
Above all, Keith loved his children deeply and remained profoundly proud of his Scottish heritage and family history. He honored and cared for his parents in their later years and took great joy in sharing stories of his ancestors and memories from his many trips to Scotland—especially his final journey there with his daughter.
Keith was thoughtful, spirited, and entirely himself. He will be remembered for his storytelling, humor, warmth, wit, and the deep love he held for his family.
At this time, no services or gatherings are planned as the family navigates his passing privately. In time, Keith’s ashes will be returned to Scotland.
