Keith J. Bruckner

Keith J. Bruckner

Age 73, of Gibsonia, on Wednesday, March 25, 2026. Beloved husband of 46 years to Rebecca Bruckner; loving father of Steve (Tricia) Bruckner and Brad (Missi) Bruckner; son of Lois Bruckner and the late Joseph Bruckner; proud Pap of Matt, Justin, Jake and his little angel Grace; brother of Kathy (the late Ben) Chojnacki, Doug (Sue) Bruckner and Greg (Marcie) Bruckner; also survived by his niece Minhnoi Wroble Biglan and many other nieces and nephews.

Keith lived his life to the fullest which always included family, friends, and laughter. Keith loved Bec with his whole heart; everyone could see how he loved nothing more than to make her laugh. Whether it was their annual vacation to St. Martin, motorcycle trips, or relaxing on the deck, Keith and Bec always had fun together. 

Keith was so proud of Steve and Brad and their accomplishments, but even more so the families they created that gave him four little hockey players. Keith rarely missed the opportunity to watch them play hockey, no matter how early or far away the games were. Matt, Justin, Jake and Grace will never forget the hundreds of knee hockey games they played with (and against) Pap and Nana in their basement. Besides watching all the other various activities his grandkids take part in, Keith loved engaging in conversations with them. The four of them will forever be the highlight of his last 10 years. 

Keith fostered good times with others, including jokes saved just for the occasion. Family gatherings and impromptu parties were open to everyone and often a surprise for Bec. Keith was the unofficial Mayor in whatever neighborhood he lived in. If anyone needed an assist on fixing something, Keith was always everyone’s first call and he never turned down the chance to help.

If you knew Keith, interactions typically ended with a beer…on trash night in the driveway, happy hour on the deck, golfing, or adventures with old friends. And he’ll be waiting with a beer for you on the other side.

A Celebration of Life Party will be held on Sunday, April 19, 2026 from 1-4 PM at the Hampton Event Center, 5416 William Flynn Hwy, Gibsonia, PA 15044. Arrangements entrusted to English Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Inc., 378 Maryland Ave., Oakmont, PA 15139.
