It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Keith Jason Mutch of Oakdale. On April 4, 2026, Keith passed away due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. He was 26 years old. Keith was born in Norwich, Sept. 6, 1999. He was the son of Keith William and Diane Elizabeth (Marinoccio) Mutch of Oakdale.

Keith was a graduate of Montville High School where he was a team player on the school football and lacrosse teams. After high school, Keith began a career with Electric Boat as a nuclear pipe fitter, a job which he truly loved and was so proud to work on the U.S.S. Columbia.

Keith was a true BMW car enthusiast. He loved working on cars and drift racing. Fort Trumbull was one of his favorite local places to visit, but Walt Disney World trips took a close second. Keith had an inviting and gregarious personality, a gentle giant. He loved gathering with friends and family, always assuming the role of grill master expertly flipping burgers, sharing his secret barbecue sauce recipe, and bringing everyone together with his warmth. His presence around the grill sparked laughter and stories, creating unforgettable moments for all who joined him.

His tragic and sudden loss will be mourned by all who knew him, but he will always be remembered with love, especially by his parents, Keith W. and Diane Mutch; his siblings, Cole, Elizabeth and Freyah Mutch; and many extended family members and friends.

Calling hours and visitation will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 18, at the Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home, 167 Old Hartford Road, Colchester. The burial will be held privately. For online condolences or to share a story of Keith, please visit www.auroramccarthyfuneralhome.com.
