Rich, Keith A.

Gates: Friday, September 26, 2025, at age 74. He is predeceased by his granddaughter, Kaylee Rich; parents, Harold and Dorothy Rich. He is survived by his children, Jason Rich (Julie Eldridge), Jamie Lynn Rich (RJ Bradley), Amanda (Joe) Bortle, Barbara Rich (Thomas Chandler), Eric J. Rich (fiancée, Emily Ulrich), Alyshia-Marie Rich, and Justin Rich; grandchildren, Marissa Rich (Adam Verno), Baileyana Peacock (Sergio Colon), Johana Treese, Malania Bradley, Kyle Bortle, Kody Bortle, SrA Juliano Rich, USAF, Lucy Rich, Cora Rich, and Jayleana Young; great-grandchildren, Lorenzo and Nicolette Verno; sister, Wendy Cavey; nephew, Darryl (Elli) Kucmerowski; other relatives and friends.

Keith was a loving Dad, Papa, Great Grandpa, Brother, and had one of the biggest hearts for his sports teams. You could always find him cheering on his Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Browns, or Baltimore Orioles. If he was not cheering on the professionals, you could find him at a local hockey rink, baseball field, cheer or dance competition cheering on his kids, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Keith shared his love of music by bringing family and friends to concerts over the years.

Keith also spent over 45 years volunteering his time within the Spencerport community. Keith served on the board for the Spencerport Jr. Baseball, helped pioneer the startup of the Spencerport High School Ice Hockey and Football Programs, as well as serving 25 years as the President of the Spencerport Sports Boosters.

Friends may call Friday, October 3, 2025, from 4:00-7:00 pm at DiPonzio Funeral Home, Inc., 219 Spencerport Road, Gates. His Funeral Service will follow at 7:00 pm in the funeral home. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Go Fund Me for the Spencerport Sport Boosters (https://gofund.me/863c4062b) in his memory.
