Keith Thomas Ferro Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Keith Ferro was born on January 25, 1951 in Long Island, NY, and left this world on April 9, 2018 to go fishing in the greatest place of all at the early age of 67. He put his waders on and took the road less traveled to get to his journey, because after all, it was always about the journey! Leaving his greatest catch, Kim, behind to take care of his special four-legged kids, Buddy, Leo, and Bella Sue. Keith’s journey will lead him to meet up with those waiting for him including his father, William; his mother, Janet; brothers, Dennis and Kevin; father-in-law,George Kennell and so many friends and beloved pets who also left this world too early. He leaves behind his wife, Kim of 25 years; brothers Bill (Diane), Tim (Cheryl), and Michael (Linda); sisters, Diane DeGeorge, and Mary Ellen Martino (Jack); his favorite mother-in-law Phyllis Kennell; sister-in-law Pam Hartig (Bob); and brother-in-laws Larry and Glenn Kennell, and numerous nieces, nephews, special cousins and countless friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Animal House, the Fort Collins Cat Rescue, or by simply taking the time to reach out to a friend or stranger and do or say something kind. One of Keith’s favorite quotes was “A life outside is a life well lived.” And all of those who knew Keith knew that he lived life well and could play harder than just about anybody! He loved to walk (and visit along the way), hike, snow shoe, travel, played softball with the Islanders for many years, and, of course, above all, he loved to fish. So make Keith proud and get out there and get a line wet! Celebration of life will be held Friday, April 13 at 1:00 p.m. at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, 1200 S. Taft Hill Road. Reception immediately following.
