Keith Gooch, 62, of Toronto, OH, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family, on Wednesday, April 17, 2019, after a 15-month courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Keith was an avid Mopar car enthusiast. He loved showing, drag racing and restoring Mopars. His latest car restoration earned its way into the August 2018 edition of the Mopar Collectors Guide. He was also a member of different Mopar car clubs throughout the years.

He leaves behind his devoted wife of 32 years, and caregiver, Mary Fullerton Gooch; two sons, Cory (fianc Kendra) Gooch and Matthew (Jennifer) Gooch, both of Toronto; one daughter, Kayla (fianc Paul) Gooch of Midland, PA, and one grandson, who he adored, Brayden Gooch; one brother, John (Nancy) Gooch; one sister, Mickey (Shaun) Libetti, both of Toronto; three nephews and their families; his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Kathy and Walter Fullerton of Toronto and many good friends.
