Keith Jennings Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Merkle Funeral Service, Inc. - Dundee on Mar. 30, 2026.
Keith James Jennings was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan on December 20, 1957, from the union of James Jennings and Virginia (Getty) Jennings. He attended Dundee Community Schools, proudly graduating from Dundee High School with the Class of 1976.

Keith was a very independent and hard-working individual, as he performed landscaping work for his neighbors and friends throughout the years. He enjoyed being his own boss, as he could choose when he wanted to work and when he wanted some leisure time.

During that leisure time, Keith loved activities that sparked his creativity as well as quenching his thirst for knowledge. When he wasn't researching the latest findings in chemistry or mathematics, Keith was honing his drawing skills as a talented artist. His intelligence and independence were appreciated by all who loved him.

Keith James Jennings, age 68, of Ann Arbor, passed away at 5:26pm on Thursday; March 26, 2026, at the Regency Villa Center of Taylor. His passing was preceded by his parents.

To cherish his memory, he leaves a sister: Sherrill Laskowitz; a niece and a nephew: Tyler (Halie) Laskowitz and Shelli Laskowitz; and one precious great nephew: Wyatt Laskowitz.

His care was entrusted to Merkle Funeral Service, Dundee; 297 Tecumseh Street, Dundee, Michigan 48131 (734) 529-3156. Cremation has taken place through Covenant Cremation of Erie, Michigan, a division of Merkle Enterprises, Inc.
