Keith S. Clary

Keith S. Clary, a beloved member of the Carillon Nursing & Rehab Center family, has passed away on December 30, 2023, at Huntington Hospital. He was born in Nassau County on November 20, 1972. Keith was a devoted and hardworking individual who dedicated over 25 years of his life to serving others in his role at Carillon Nursing & Rehab Center.

Keith was known for his unwavering kindness and generosity. He never uttered a negative word about anyone, always choosing to see the best in people. This exceptional character trait stemmed from his strong Catholic faith, which guided him throughout his life.

As a high school graduate, Keith valued education and the pursuit of knowledge. However, one of his proudest accomplishments was attending World Youth Day, an international event that brought together young Catholics from around the world. This experience deepened his spirituality and left an indelible mark on his heart.

Keith will be remembered for his warm and gentle demeanor. He had a compassionate heart that touched the lives of everyone he encountered. Whether it was lending a helping hand to a coworker or simply offering an empathetic ear to someone in need, Keith was always there for others. His selflessness and giving nature will forever be cherished.

In his personal life, Keith held dear to his family and friends. He is survived by his loving sister Patti Dioguardi, her husband John,  and his brother Sean Clary and his wife Connie. Alongside them are nieces Jennifer, Julia, and Malia, as well as nephew Jack. The bond he shared with them was immeasurable and filled with love and laughter.

Keith also leaves behind many cousins and friends who have been blessed by his presence in their lives. His genuine care for others created lasting connections that will endure beyond his physical absence.

A visitation in honor of Keith's life will be held on January 4, 2024, at Deer Park - Mangano Family Funeral Home in Deer Park, NY. The first visitation will take place from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, followed by a second visitation from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM on the same day.

Keith S. Clary's departure has left a void that cannot be filled, but his memory will continue to inspire and uplift those who were fortunate enough to know him. His legacy of kindness, faith, and hard work will echo through the lives he touched.

May his spirit find eternal peace, and may we all strive to live with the same unwavering compassion that Keith embodied.
