Keith Wayne Dryjanski

A devoted father, loving husband, proud grandfather, and loyal friend, Keith lived his life with passion, humor, and heart. He was a lifelong fan of UT football and the Chicago Cubs, often saying that when pitchers and catchers reported for spring training in February, “All is right with the world.” His love for sports was only matched by his love for people and service. Keith found joy in his work in the hospitality industry and was always looking for ways to give back to his community.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Susan Dryjanski; his cherished children, Jack, Eli, Alexandra (Brett VanRegenmorter), and Heather Williamson (Anthony); his adored granddaughter, Lainey, whom he affectionately called his “new girlfriend” and "snugglebunny" from the moment she was born. He is also survived by his parents, Dennis and Carole Dryjanski, stepmother Nadine, as well as his sister, Kim Miller.

Keith often said that his greatest accomplishment in life was being a father to his four children. His pride in them was unmistakable, and he never missed a chance to tell others how much he loved them. He will be remembered for his quick wit, big heart, and the way he made everyone feel welcome and seen. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends, and those who knew him.

A celebration of Keith’s life will be held at Sacred Heart Cathedral on June 6, 2025 at 10:00 AM. A receiving of friends and family will follow the service.
