In Loving Memory of Keith Connor

Keith Connor, 45, died on February 23, 2026 in Burlington, Washington.

Keith was born January 14, 1981 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. He grew up in Girardville, PA, where he attended Immaculate Heart Elementary School before graduating from Cardinal Brennan High School. He later attended the University of Scranton for a short time.

Keith spent much of his adult life on the West Coast, living in Bellevue and Seattle, Washington, and later in Oakland and San Francisco, California, before returning to Washington State in 2025 and settling in Burlington. Keith worked in the technology industry, including roles at Microsoft and Meta. Colleagues remember him as thoughtful, curious, and deeply intelligent, with a perspective that often helped others see problems—and the world—in new ways.

Keith had a wide range of interests and an unmistakable sense of humor. Friends recall long conversations about movies, books, music, and the strange corners of culture. He loved films, especially unusual or offbeat ones, and shared that passion with friends through movie nights, discussions, and online communities.

Over the years Keith formed friendships across many communities—from childhood friends in Pennsylvania to colleagues in Seattle and California, and to the many people he connected with online. Those who knew him often describe him as kind, thoughtful, and uniquely perceptive.

Keith is survived by his brother, Fran Connor, and sister-in-law Leah Connor, along with cousins, extended family members, and many friends who will remember him with affection.

A memorial website has been created where friends and family may share photographs and memories in celebration of Keith’s life.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Keith’s memory to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer.
