Keith M. Cappello, died on February 22, 2026.

Born in Somerville he was a graduate of Somerset County Vocational Technical School where his focus was Autobody Repair.

Keith had a lifelong passion for collecting Hot Wheels. He found joy in the hunt for a rare find and took great pride in meticulously organizing his vast collection. This is something he carried with him into his career in the automotive field. Whether it was auto repair or parts and supplies, he never left the industry.

Alongside his love for cars was a lifelong dedication to wrestling. This passion began as youth wrestler growing up, and watching Saturday morning matches. He always had to order and watch the pay-per-view matches throughout his life.

Keith also loved his dogs, Cheyenne who met him over the rainbow bridge, and Kash.

Surviving are his daughter, Kaitlynne Ann Cappello, his parents Francis and Carol Cappello, his sister Karen Van Cleef and husband Rob, his nephews and niece, Matthew, Zachary, Kiersten, and his community of friends.
