Vincent Lee Keagy, loved fishing

Vincent Lee Keagy,  aka “Killer,” 80, of Milton, left the dock one last time Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023. He was born in Lancaster, Pa., to Ethel and Elwood Keagy.

Vince retired from Wheatland Junior High School, where he taught industrial arts, and coached soccer and basketball. He was a natural musician and enjoyed playing the guitar and piano. His greatest passion was fishing and sharing this passion with all those who fished on the Miss Kirstin. His family and friends are missing him dearly; however, we believe the fish of Delaware Bay are sighing in relief.  

He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Judy; children, Vince Keagy Jr. (Jeanette), Kyle Keagy (Melissa) and Kirstin Garcia (Luis); grandchildren Jamie, Alex, Zion, Zachary and Stacey; numerous great-grandchildren; and Gibbs the cat. 

A celebration of Vince's life will be held from 1 to 4 p.m., Sunday, March 26, at Irish Eyes Restaurant and Pub, 213 Anglers Road, Lewes.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Milton Fire Department, 116 Front St., Milton, DE  19968; or Delaware Hospice, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, DE  19963.

Arrangements in the care of Short Funeral Services, Milton.
