Arthur A. Keiss, age 84, a resident of Plainfield, IL, passed away peacefully on October 23, 2025 at Lightways Hospice, Joliet, IL. He was born on June 12, 1941 in Chicago, IL.
Arthur is survived by his devoted wife of 60 years, Diana Keiss; his loving daughter, Susan (Don) Mackowiak; his sisters, Margaret (Butch) Beitler and Joan (Don) Gerwig, and brothers, John Keiss and William (Christine) Keiss; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his daughter, Christy (Justin) Keiss Rychlik; his parents, Arthur and Margaret Keiss; his sister, Maryann Todner
Arthur was a loving husband and father whose family meant everything to him. He worked hard all his life and took pride in providing the best he could for those he loved. When he wasn't working, he could often be found by the water with a fishing pole in hand or enjoying an old Western on TV. Arthur was also a die-hard Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears fan.
