Jay A. Keskitalo

Jay A. Keskitalo, also known as Uncle Jay or Uncle Bald Guy, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, February 7 in Waukesha aged 51. He was born in Milwaukee to parents Jay and Lois (nee Kijewski) Keskitalo on January 20, 1974. 

Jay worked many jobs but held his favorite as a bartender at Sharkey’s Bar and Grill, where the crew and customers felt like a second family to him. He had a deep love for music and found joy in attending concerts, and experiencing the energy of live performances. His first choice was heavy metal, and he was often seen walking around town with his headphones on, singing away. Those who knew Jay will remember him as someone who was always quick with a joke and a smile. Music was not only a form of expression for him but also a way to connect with others through his strong passion.

He is survived by his children Quentin and Olivia Montgomery; former wife, Nicole Montgomery and is further survived by his three brothers, nieces and nephews, and many friends. He is preceded in death by his parents.

No formal services will be held, but the family is planning for a Celebration of Life for the near future.
