James Francis Kealy

Our Son, Our Brother, Our Friend

Age 68 of Monticello

Passed away peacefully on May 25, 2025. His father, Thomas Kealy; and brother Thomas Michael Kealy, Jr. preceded him in death.

Jim was a social guy who always took  time to chat with people. He always projected a positive attitude and was kind in word and deed. He only spoke of anyone or anything in the best light. His true passion was music, having played in a few bands, and being very knowledgeable about music, especially from the 70’s. Sports trivia, golfing, and bowling were all great activities, but he really loved spending time with his family. Jim was a true gem.
