Jason Allen Keis

Jason Allen Keis, 50, passed away unexpectedly on Friday morning July 3, 2026, at his home. He was born October 23, 1975, in Warren, Ohio, the son of James E. “Jimmy” and Barbara E. (Drab) Keis and lived in this community all his life. He was a 1994 graduate of Niles McKinley High School and a member of Saint Pope John XXIII Parish – Saint Stephen Church.

Jason was an easy-going, tender-hearted man who enjoyed the simple things in life; watching a movie, listening to music, going to a sporting event or spending time with his family. He enjoyed listening to different genres of music, was a super fan of the band KISS and was also a movie buff. He was an avid fan of the Cleveland Indians, Browns, Cavaliers; Pittsburgh Pirates, Penguins; Lake County Captains, Akron Rubber Ducks, Mahoning Valley Scrappers, Youngstown State Penguins and the Niles McKinley Red Dragons. He enjoyed high school football and enjoyed going to the High School State Championship in Canton. Jason was fortunate over the years to have made many friendships alongside his Dad at various stadiums with fellow sports fans. Jason was a devoted son and brother and loved his family with all of his heart.

Jason is survived by siblings, Jennifer (Edward) Joseph of Niles, Stephanie (Darryn) Paul of Austintown, Michael (Theresa) Rendziniak Sr. of Mineral Ridge; nieces and nephews, Nikki (Joel) McCracken, Michael Rendziniak Jr., Gillian Paul, Nicholas Paul, Colin Joseph; great nephews, Ezra, Revo; his Aunt Susie (Tom) Williams, Aunt Donna (Terrence) Glodde and several cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and beloved dog, Pepper.

Jason was a kind soul and will be truly missed.

The family would like to express their gratitude to his two close friends, of over 40 years, Ed Snider and Pat Devanny and his cousin Rob. Your support, love and friendship meant the world to him. Thank you all for your kindness to him over the years. If we can take anything away from Jason's unexpected passing, it's to know that time is never promised. Take the time to enjoy the simple things in life and never forget to treat others with kindness and to respect and love one another.

A funeral service will be 11 a.m. on Friday, July 10, 2026, at the Holeton-Yuhasz Funeral Home in Niles where family and friends may call one hour prior to the service. Burial will be in Niles City Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family request any contributions can be made in Jason's name to the Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County.
