Keith Reynolds passed away suddenly August 12, 2025. Born April 3, 1975 to Douglas (Judy) Reynolds and Joni (nee Rogers) Daffiltto.

Devoted father of Alexis, Haley, and Kyra. Beloved grandfather of Sylvia and Cyrus. Loving brother of Michele (Craig), Anthony, and Gina. Dear uncle of Hunter, Mikey, Myah, and T.J.

Keith was incredible (and sometimes questionable) sense of humor brought laughter into every room (and countless Facebook post comments). He loved his kids and Amanda with all of his heart and was the proudest Dad of his girls. His love, his laughter, and his friendship will stay with me forever. We will miss you every single day, but I know we will get to see again someday. Tell Amanda we said hello and we miss her too. At least we know you’re with the love of your life once again. That’s really the only thing getting us through this.

CELBRATION OF LIFE: Friday, August 22, 2025 at Pietro's Restaurant 3801 Watson Rd., St. Louis, MO 63109 from 4-8 p.m.
