Diocesan priest, Father Keith Hardless, who worked mainly in Georgetown, died Thursday morning at a city hospital.
After complaining of feeling unwell earlier that morning he was taken to the hospital and admitted to its intensive care unit (ICU), according to the Catholic Media Guyana in a Facebook post.
However, while receiving medical attention he went into cardiac arrest and died.
He was 75.
Up to the time of his passing, Father Keith was the assistant Parish priest of The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Sacred Heart and Our Lady of Fatima.
Born in Rangoon, Burma, he studied for the priesthood in the United Kingdom.
While a student at the Drygrange seminary in Scotland, he was accepted by Bishop Guilly to serve in this Diocese.
Ordained priest in April 1971 he first came to Guyana five months later in September of that year.
Guyana became his home with his work especially centered on the East Bank of Demerara.
His first appointment was an assistant priest at Our Lady of the Mount parish, where he worked with his former class mate Father Michael Savage.
He eventually became the parish priest and in fact, ended up spending all of his life as a priest in that parish.
