Keith Connolly & Kristin Connolly

2/12/2024 Keith Connolly finished his tremendous fight against pancreatic cancer on earth to be free from cancer in heaven. We want to Thank everyone for the past 18 months of support, prayers, donations, love, and thoughts. Keith was surrounded by his incredibly loving wife, Kristin, his parents and step-parents, his twin brother Kyle, and his 5 other siblings. In addition, Kristin's parents and one of her brothers were by their side. We thank all of the wonderful doctors, nurses, and staff at Christ hospital for the wonderful care that they took of Keith, they are truly angels! Keith taught us all a lesson in resilience, love, fight, with the heart of a champion! We love you Keith, we will miss you dearly every day of our lives!

Keith Connolly, age 37, has Cystic Fibrosis, CF Related Diabetes, and recently diagnosed Pancreatic Cancer.

Sunday, May 30th, 2021 was one of the happiest days for our family; Keith and Kristin were married and looking forward to a beautiful life together! They moved into their home in N. College Hill and started planning their future. Fast forward a year to celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary at the hospital. Keith experienced back and stomach pain and was jaundiced. He was eventually diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Six months later, Keith has undergone several aggressive chemotherapy sessions at UC Barrett Cancer Center and is being followed by Dr. Mark Truty with visits to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, every 2 months. As one can imagine, it has been tough to focus on the house during this time, and there is an immediate need for repair. Both bathrooms have peeling paint, mold, and no ventilation. It is a very concerning health hazard for Keith due to CF and cancer, as well as for Kristin. They have contracted with an individual to do the work but need help financially to pay for it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you - The Connolly’s
