Westfield - On July 1st, 2024, Keith passed away peacefully with his family at his side following a long courageous battle with cancer. Keith graduated from Hartford Modern School of Welding in the late 80’s. That certificate led to his employment at Pioneer Valley railroad. His 20 year career there progressed from track work to supervisor of operation. After leaving that occupation led him to his last employer JL construction as a heavy equipment operator. He cherished both of those jobs and the people he worked with. If not for his illness, he would still be working. Keith was an exceptional employee with an uncompromising work ethic. Keith was pre-deceased by his parents, Melburn Guilmette and Janet (Scanlon) Dean. Along with brothers, Jerry and Michael Guilmette. He leaves behind his beloved wife Janette of 43 years, three children (Nicole, Justin, and Krystal), Grandchildren (Kenzie and Levi), Stepfather (Alvin Dean, Sister (Lisa) and brother (Patrick) - aunts, in-laws, nieces and nephews. All-important yet far too many to list. Keith was blessed with many good loyal friends and in return a lifelong friend to many. I would like to send a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Glynn and the staff at Sister Caritas Cancer Center for their notable care. A celebration of life to honor a life well-loved will be held in August. Burial will be private. www.firtionadams.com
