Keith Michael Spratt
2024

At the age of 79, Keith Michael Spratt transitioned into God’s glory on October 14, 2024, surrounded by his adoring family. He was the beloved husband and best friend of Marcia “Marsh,” the love of his life. Keith was a devoted and loving father to Jamie (Kevin) Morneau, Jocelyn (Pete) Grammatico, Jeanelle (John) Spratt-Paul, and Joelle (Matt) Green. He was a cherished and playful Poppa to Malia, Ellesia, Maiya, Christina, Keith, Miles, and Sutton.

Keith is survived by his dear brother Gary (Sue), and was predeceased by his siblings Brian, Karen, and Linda. He was a loving brother-in-law to Theresa (Adrian) Sanderson, and is reunited with his parents, Gertrude (Bud) and Nolan, and his brother-in-law Wade Gates. He will be deeply missed by his many nieces and nephews, who he treated as his own children.

Throughout his life, Keith did God’s work, serving as a Big Brother, sponsoring people affected by war, and dedicating his efforts to the Knights of Columbus. He was a fierce advocate for justice, always standing up for the underdog. His generosity knew no bounds, and he worked tirelessly to ensure everyone felt loved and included. Keith’s heart was especially connected to the people of Haiti, where he and Marcia established a Sponsorship Program for children and the elderly, as well as a medical fund to support those in need.

However, nothing compared to the deep love Keith held for his family. They were his pride and joy, and his legacy lives on through them. His family was his sunrise and sunset, and they will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

Donations in Keith’s memory may be made to Hearts Together for Haiti or the Javelin Education and Medical Fund.

Visitation will be held on Sunday from 3:00-5:00 p.m. and 7:00-9:00 p.m., with parish prayers at 7:30 p.m., at Families First, 3260 Dougall Ave., South Windsor.

Cremation will follow.

“May perpetual light shine upon him, may he rest in peace. Amen.”
