Keith Hase

Keith Elwyn Hase, age 85, of Bay City, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on June 10, 2025.

 Keith is survived by his devoted wife, Linda Hase, and their children: Brad (Christy) Hase, Brian (Becky) Hase, Mark Hase, Shari (Ryan) Schnell, Jodi Knight, and Cory (Colleen) Hase. He is also survived by his brother, Carvel (Nancy) Hase, and sister, Karen Harris. Keith was a proud grandfather to Branden, Sydney A., Bridgette, Kayla, Shauna, Brady, Sydney R., Victoria, Tanner, and Jessica, and a loving great-grandfather to 14 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his grandson, Nathan Hase, Mother, Violet (Gilbertson) Flemming and Father, Russell Hase.

 He was known for his strong work ethic, deep love for family, and tireless service to the community. Keith lived a life full of energy, generosity, and humor. He was an avid fisherman, a passionate card player, and a proud former bar owner who cherished connecting with people. 

Keith proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1960 to 1966 and served as Fire Chief for Bay City, always ready to lend a hand wherever it was needed. One of Keith’s fondest memories was celebrating his 75th birthday, surrounded by family and friends while enjoying one of his specialties — cow tank chicken. He also took great pride in being the owner of a beautifully restored 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Among his greatest accomplishments was witnessing all of his children and grandchildren build happy, fulfilling lives — something he valued above all else. Keith’s legacy will live on through the stories, laughter, and love he shared with everyone lucky enough to know him.
