Gregory S. Keevil
AUBURN - Gregory S. Keevil, 64 of Auburn passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, November 22, 2023.
He was born in Indianapolis, the son of the late Robert and Patricia (Ellig) Keevil and had resided in numerous areas before locating to Central New York for most of his life.
Greg graduated from Liverpool High School and received his Bachelor's degree from SUNY Cortland.
Greg previously worked for CNY Coin Machine and spent the last 20 years self-employed for his own business ventures. He was proud to be a trustee of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie.
Greg enjoyed playing tennis, traveling, taking an occasional trip to one of our local casinos and sharing a drink with family and friends, especially if it was labeled Johnnie Walker.
He was unfailingly funny, incredibly generous, and always showed up for the people he loved. He was the life of every party and will be sadly missed but forever remembered as charismatic, fun-loving, and caring by all who got to know him.
He is survived by the love of his life and best friend, Gina Lamannis of Auburn; a brother, Chris (Lori) Keevil; a nephew, Brian (Leanna) Keevil; two nieces: Liz (Thomas) Marro, Jillian (Josh) Martin; a great-niece; and several great-nephews; as well as his mother-in-law, Rose Lamannis; and sister-in-law, Tammy (Tim) Reilly; nieces: Kayla and Brianna O'Hora; and several other relatives and friends.
Calling hours are this Thursday, November 30, 2023 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. with services to immediately follow at 7:00 p.m., all inside of Pettigrass Funeral Home, 196 Genesee St., Auburn.

It's already a year without Greg. His wide grin and caring nature are badly missed. Our group of friends talk about him all the time. I'm proud he considered me his friend for more than 40 years. Love you Greg

Today would have been Greg's birthday. He was a wonderful friend, like a brother to me and uncle to my son. I miss him deeply. The world was better with Greg in it.

We met Greg way back in the 70's. He was always a happy go lucky guy. We enjoyed many times together with Chris and others and Greg was always the most friendly guy one could know. May he rest in peace. He will never be forgotten by anyone that knew him and his good nature.
