Keith Wills

MAZON—Keith Alan Wills, 60, of Mazon, passed away Friday, Oct. 23, 2020 at his home with his family by his side.
Born April 7, 1960 in Morris, Keith Alan was a son of Roy and Catherine (nee Vitale) Wills. He was a member of Assumption Catholic Church in Coal City, and was a 50 year member of the Gleaners. Keith attended school with Trinity Services, and worked at the Trinity Barkery in Wilmington. He took great pride in his work and always made sure that each treat was just right before baking in the oven. Keith enjoyed painting and coloring, and would look forward to Christmas when he could help decorate for the season with Trinity.
He was often the life of the party and loved to dance with any partner he could find or just by himself. Keith especially enjoyed celebrating birthdays and singing along to Happy Birthday. He was a loving and affectionate person who adored his pet collies. Most important to him was his family, especially his nieces and nephews.
Survivors include his sister and two brothers: Donna (Larry) Meyer, Ronald (Jane) Wills and Dennis (Karen) Wills, all of Mazon; nine nieces and nephews: Jim Meyer, of Chicago; Richard (Tricia) Meyer, of Diamond; William Meyer, of Mazon; Kim (Bradley) Mathis, of Oswego; Janet Wills, of Coal City; Deanne (Scott) Friddle, of Coal City; Craig (April) Wills, of Elgin; Jennifer (Robert) Fisher, of Indianapolis, IN and Ryan Wills, of Mazon; 11 great-nieces and great-nephews, and his long time caretaker, Paula Spurgeon.
Keith was preceded in death by his parents and several aunts and uncles.
