Dr. Keith Joseph Delahoussaye, a beloved chiropractor, passed away on December 30, 2024, in Nederland, Texas, at the age of 67. He was born on October 8, 1957, in Port Arthur, Texas. Keith was a proud 1976 graduate of Bishop Byrne High School, Lamar University, achieved his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Texas Chiropractic College, and was certified in acupuncture from the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture.
Keith was the proud owner and operator of Delahoussaye Chiropractic Clinic, where he devoted his career to improving the health and well-being of his patients. He was a trusted practitioner, and his contributions to the field were felt by many who sought his care.
Keith loved tinkering with anything mechanical. At a young age he loved fireworks, and building and launching rockets. He never met an engine he didn’t want to take apart and put back together. He was a lover of motorcycles, martial arts, a gun enthusiast, and an avid reader. He grew to love gardening and cooking later in life. He loved to give people a hard time and joke around.
Keith was blessed with many loyal friends who were family to him, especially his most trusted confidant and friend, Scott Harrell, and long time companion, Cindy Malina. As his health declined, too many friends to try to name were there for him, calling to check in, taking him on errands, out to eat or stopping by to visit. It’s no surprise that when you are a blessing to your friends, they return that to you in your time of need. Their devotion has not gone unnoticed and is appreciated.
Keith was preceded in death by his parents, LeRoy Joseph and Mary Louise Delahoussaye. He is survived by his brother, Karl Delahoussaye, and his wife, Ginger; along with his sisters, Faye Dismukes, and Karla Barron, and her husband John, brother in law, Danny Dismukes, and many nieces and nephews.
The community will gather to honor his memory with a funeral Mass at St. Therese the Little Flower Catholic Church in Port Arthur, Texas, on January 6, 2025, at 2 PM. The church is located at 6412 Garnet Ave, Port Arthur, Texas and all are welcome to attend.
O merciful Savior, send Thy angels to conduct the soul of Thy servant to a place of refreshment and peace. Amen.
