Doug Keech

Doug Keech was surrounded by his wife, Rosalee and children, Alex, Liz and Hillary upon peacefully leaving this earth, February 26, 2026. His warmth, humor and love for his children, their spouses Jessica, Adam, and Eric are treasured. His adoration and time spent with his grandchildren Hannah, Hunter, Mason, Zoe, Sophie and Emma knew no bounds. His sisters, Diane and Cheryl, were able to visit and spend quality time with Doug several weeks ago. Most of all, he was a husband who was a true partner in all of life’s ups and downs through the years. His calm, analytical attitude during life’s challenges helped Doug and Rosalee meet and overcome those challenges. And his partnership made life’s “ups” more enjoyable.

Doug was a professional and, as a result of his work travel, made the million-mile club with a major airline. Rather than be known for his work, he wants to be known as the great friend and family person that he was. He loved hosting friends and family at home by cooking good meals and providing great wine. He would also like to be known as a great golfer, but alas, that was not to be. However, Doug was a marvelous artistic photographer. From his thousands of photographs taken during his many travels to photographs taken locally, his artistry and pride in his work is an integral part of who he was.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Doug's memory can be made to :Gold Foundation- The Arnold P. Gold Foundation champions humanism in healthcare, which they define as clinically excellent care that is kind, safe, and trustworthy or Jewish Home Family- Provides excellence in nursing, elder and rehab care to both Jews and non-Jews.
