**In Loving Memory of Keith Bonner**
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Keith Bonner, 68 on March 15th, 2025. Keith was preceded in death by his father Fred Bonner and Mother Wanita Bonner. Keith will be deeply missed by his wife Emily Bonner; Children Matt Bonner (Leslie Bonner) and Christina Wickman; Sister Rhonda Hickey (Michael Hickey); Grandchildren Natalie and Bryce Bonner and many other aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who will forever hold his memory close.
A beloved husband, father, brother, friend, and an inspiration to many, Keith lived a life filled with adventure, dedication, and a deep love for the people and places that brought him joy.
Keith had a remarkable career that reflected his commitment to service and his technical expertise. In his younger years, he proudly served as a Fire Captain in Trotwood, Ohio, leading and protecting his community with courage and selflessness. Alongside his firefighting career, he worked as a Telephone Technician at NCR, where his skills and professionalism were highly respected.
Outside of work, Keith found peace and joy in his travels to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where he loved to explore the beauty of Mother Nature and animals of the Great Smoky Mountains. Some of his fondest moments were spent on Indian Lake, where he enjoyed boating and fishing, embracing the tranquility of the water.
A true sportsman at heart, Keith was passionate about ice hockey and never missed an opportunity to lace up his skates and take to the ice.
Visitation from 11:00am-12:30pm with funeral services to follow at 12:30pm -1pm. on Thursday March 20th at Brough Funeral Home (102 S 2nd St, Miamisburg, OH) where family and friends will gather to honor his legacy. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to St Jude.
Dad, We will carry your memory with us always, finding comfort in the knowledge that your legacy of bravery, and strength carries on.
With love, Your Family!
