Keith Donnelly

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Keith Thomas Donnelly, age 66, who left this world on January 25, 2026. Born on October 8, 1959, to Robert and Martha Donnelly in Detroit, Keith's spirit shone brightly through his profound love for life and adventure.

Keith was a skilled plumber, known not only for his expertise but for his infectious laughter and warm heart. Those fortunate enough to know him will remember him for his passion for fishing, his culinary talents, and the joy he found in barbecuing for family and friends. He lived life to the fullest, embracing every moment and encouraging those around him to do the same.

He is survived by his beloved sister, Anne M. (Jerome M.) Stryjewski; his cherished nephews, Jason M. (Heather Owens) Stryjewski and Justin M. Stryjewski; and his adored great-nephews and great-niece—Landon M., Logan J., Charlotte E., Zachary M., and Jacob M. Stryjewski. Keith is predeceased by his parents, Robert E. Donnelly in 1999 and Martha A. Donnelly (née Higgins) in 2004, and his brother, Jeffrey P. Donnelly in 1977.

A celebration of Keith’s vibrant life will take place at a future date. Family and friends are encouraged to come together to share stories, partake in laughter, and celebrate the joyous mark that Keith left on all who knew him.

A committal service will take place at Resurrection Cemetery, located at 18201 Clinton River Road in Clinton Twp., on June 6, 2026 at 12 pm, with a celebration of life taking place afterword.
