James Kealy Obituary
Jim, age 68 of Monticello, passed away peacefully on May 25, 2025.
His father, Thomas Kealy and brother, Thomas Michael Kealy, Jr. preceded him in death.
Surviving are his mother, Florence (Trettel) Kealy Mayer; sister, Mary Kealy-Falk; brother, Patrick (Patricia) Kealy; nieces and nephews, Matthew, Jeffrey, and Joey Kealy, Thomas and Brenna Falk, John Kealy and Madison Kealy-Shea; many other relatives and friends; and special friend, Carol Havisto.
Jim was a social guy who always took time to chat with people. He always projected a positive attitude and was kind in word and deed. He only spoke of anyone or anything in the best light. His true passion was music, having played in a few bands, and being very knowledgeable about music, especially from the 70's. Sports trivia, golfing, and bowling were all great activities, but he really loved spending time with his family. Jim was a true gem.
Visitation held from 4-7PM with a time of sharing at 6:30PM on Wednesday, June 4th at Peterson-Grimsmo Funeral Chapel, 250 Broadway St. E., Monticello. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11AM with visitation one hour prior on Thursday, June 5th at the Church of Saint Henry, 1001 7th St. E., Monticello.
