KEELER, PAUL S.

Paul S. Keeler of Willimantic, died unexpectedly on Tuesday, June 23, 2020. He was the beloved son of Paul S. (Elaine) Keeler of Ledyard, and Donna Perrotti Keeler of East Haven. Paul was born in New Haven on March 7, 1989. Besides his parents, Paul is survived by his sisters, Heather (Dave) DeMaio of Guilford and Dawn (Willi) Hill of Virginia, his grandmother Marjorie Evarts of East Haven, his nephews Willie, Jaden, David, and Bryce, his niece Ava, and numerous loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded by his grandparents Stewart and Loretta Keeler and John Perrotti. Paul had a tough exterior, but a heart of gold and deep routed loyalty. People gravitated to his infectious smile and laughter. Paul had deep love for his family and friends and will be remembered for his quick wit and teasing nature for those he loved. His self-expression shined through his tattoo’s and his love of sneakers. Paul also had a deep connection and love for animals and most recently had been working on a farm, which he enjoyed and was known for his hard-working ethic. His adventurous spirit kept everyone on their toes but always made for a compelling story. Words cannot express how this beautiful young man will be missed.

Funeral services will be private given the restrictions in place due to Covid-19. A celebration of Paul’s life will be held at a later date. For online memorial and guestbook, see www.wsclancy.com
