Keith A. Bursey, age 29 of Wayne, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. He was a lifelong Wayne resident and had graduated from Wayne Valley High School with the class of 2003. He went on to earn his Bachelor’s degree from Quinnipiac University in 2007.
Keith was an insurance agent with the AC Marmo Insurance Company of Clifton for the past three years and was enjoying his career.
Keith was an outstanding soccer player his whole life and served as Captain of the Wayne Valley soccer team during his time there. Soccer was in his blood and he never stopped playing. A few years ago, while he was training young soccer players, he was asked to coach the Wanaque ‘Lightning’ girls soccer team, as well as the boys ‘Renegades’ soccer team. He loved working with those kids more than anything, and watching them develop their skills on the soccer field always made him happy. He coached for nearly four years and was just wrapping up the fall season. Keith was also an avid skier and had raced on the Wayne Valley Ski Team. He was a fast skier and typically the first one to make it to the bottom of the mountain! He loved going to Stratton as often as he could, and he had been skiing in California, Colorado, and Deer Valley, Utah.
As a kid, Keith enjoyed the summers at the family home in Lavallette. He loved jet skiing on the bay, going crabbing in the middle of the night when the tide was just right and, of course, hanging out with all of his friends. He worked every summer since he was about thirteen years old and had been employed at the Ocean Beach marina, Spicey’s on the Beach, Boater’s World, and he even sold Chimineas throughout the area. He wasn’t a lazy kid by any means and always had a job. Keith also loved to work out and keep himself fit. He was at LA Fitness in Wayne all the time.
Keith carried a ‘bad boy’ persona but he was truly a very caring person. He would like you to believe he was fierce, but he was really one of the most loyal and invaluable friends you could hope to have. You could count on him when you needed anything and he would surely be there for you. Keith’s little nephew Jaxon was the light of his life and he loved Jaxon like he was the only kid in the world. He was also deeply devoted to his girlfriend, Jackie Pellicciotti. They will all miss him dearly.
Keith is the beloved son of Bruce and Dianne Bursey, loving brother of Scott and his wife Theresa, adored uncle of Jaxon, cherished grandson of Ray and Othilia Boutin, nephew to Raymond and Ellen Boutin and Steve and Penny Bursey, loving cousin of Bryan Boutin and his wife Gena, and Ashley Boutin, and his loving girlfriend; Jaclyn Pellicciotti. Keith was predeceased by his paternal grandparents; Warren and Adeline Bursey.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Keith’s memory would be greatly appreciated to the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, Patient Aid Fund, PO Box 64348, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55164.
