It is with great sadness we mourn the loss of Keith "Kiso" Dolan, who passed away/transitioned from this life on Thursday, February 23, 2023, with his loving spouse Kyle Dolan and family members by his side. Despite battling with Type One Diabetes for four decades, Keith refused to be defined by his illness.
Keith was predeceased by his brother Ashley Marquez-Perez. He is survived by his husband Kyle Dolan, mother Mariceles May, sister Chelsey Shallcross (Mike), niece Emmy Shallcross, half-sister Chrissy Vidales (Oliver), and best friends Scott Harvey and Magen Coggin (Taylor).
Keith was born on January 21, 1977, in Lewistown Pennsylvania, and spent much of his childhood in Wilmington, Delaware. He later moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he gained the nickname, "Kiso," and was a highly respected nightclub promoter. In 2007, Keith moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where he would meet his soulmate and future husband, Kyle.
Keith and Kyle shared an intense devotion, and their relationship was an inspiring example of what true love should be. They were married in 2014 surrounded by friends and family, and their love deepened with each passing day.
Keith was dedicated to his loved ones and known as the best brother anyone could ask for. He was an exceptional cook and avid reader who enjoyed watching his favorite shows, The Golden Girls and Roseanne. He had a keen interest in everything related to AEon Flux, idolized the original supermodel Gia Carangi, and could often be found listening to his eclectic music collection.
We will miss Keith's infectious smile, his warm heart, and his courageous spirit. He leaves behind a legacy of love, humor, and fearlessness that will continue to uplift us all.
Rest in peace, dear Keith. You will be forever missed and remembered.
"Wild ride, hold your fire. I'm not about to die. Keep back. Let in some air; I dare lay down, to stare at the sky. I am wide open, reaching forever. I fly into the blue."
