Keith Phillip Neer, 44, passed away on Saturday, December 6th, 2025, at St. Rose Dominican Hospital, in Henderson, Nevada, due to complications from his battle with cancer.

Keith was born at Illini Hospital, in Silvis, Illinois, to Terry Charles and Michele Rose Neer (Bennett), on July 21st, 1981.

Keith was raised in Port Byron, Illinois, and graduated from Riverdale Senior High School, on Friday, May 19th, 2000. After high school, he worked for Whitey’s Ice Cream, QCA Pools & Spa, Isle of Capri Casino and Rhythm City Casino, before moving to Las Vegas, Nevada, in April of 2007.

Keith met his beautiful wife, Teresa Marie Kuner (Francis), in May of 2014, at Putter’s on Rainbow, at pool league. After Teresa brutally beat Keith’s best friend, Kareem, he invited her out with his friends, for some drinks. They made out like teenagers and have been together ever since. They were married at The Little Church of the West, in Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 25th, 2016. That day, Keith not only gained an extraordinary wife, but he also gained a wonderful son, Aaron Kuner, and their amazing family.

Keith loved playing pool, playing golf, watching all sports on TV, especially Pittsburgh Steelers and Michigan Wolverines, making little side bets with friends, which he usually lost, and family game nights along with building Lego sets together with his wife and son. But most of all, he loved family!
