We remember the life of Keith Allen Wagar, 63, a man who could make anyone laugh and who had a heart as big as his stubborn streak. Keith passed away suddenly on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at Albany Medical Center.
He was born on June 23, 1962, in Albany, NY, to Jim and Jane (Barnes) Wagar.
Keith was a man of many passions. He loved the open road, often taking long car rides and walks with his beloved wife, Jennifer, or cruising on his Harley in his younger days. His love for vehicles didn't stop at bikes and cars; you could often find him engrossed in any TV show that featured an engine and four wheels.
He also had a love for bluegrass music, attending festivals whenever possible, and he enjoyed a good seafood dinner. Keith was a hard worker, dedicating many years to his career as a union painter, then later working for Snell Septic in Greenwich. He was known for his determination and dependability, traits that served him well in his career and personal life.
Above all else, Keith valued the time he spent with his wife, Jennifer, who was his world. They were the best of friends and partners, always finding new adventures to embark on together.
Keith was a stubborn man, but his hard-headedness was often softened by his quick wit and jovial spirit. His love for his family was steadfast and strong, his laughter was contagious, and his spirit was unbreakable.
Keith is survived by his loving wife Jennifer Wagar; mother, Jane (Barnes) Wagar; his daughter's, April and Julie; stepchildren, Brittany, Brandi, Brianna (Chris) and Abraham; brother, Raymond Bergan Jr. and special friends, Harold and Tracy Snell and Glen Davis.
He is predeceased by his biological father, Jim Wagar, his adopted father, Raymond Bergan and brother’s Richard and David Bergan.
