John Kevin Keating, 55, passed away on August 11, 2021, in Chicago, Illinois. Born on July 11, 1966, in the same city he called home throughout his life, John left behind a legacy of warmth, intelligence, and unwavering devotion to those he loved.
John's early years were rooted in the northwest side of Chicago, where he attended St. Eugene Grammar School. He continued his education at Notre Dame High School before pursuing higher studies at Triton College. His academic journey culminated with a degree in Finance from DePaul University—an achievement that reflected his dedication and intellectual curiosity.
Throughout his life, John approached every endeavor with enthusiasm and determination. He was known for being good at whatever he set his mind to and was always eager to learn something new. Whether it was mastering a professional skill or diving into a new hobby, John embraced each opportunity with open arms and an open heart.
A man of many passions, John found joy in golf, music, cooking, and cycling. He was also a voracious reader who delighted in expanding his knowledge and sharing it generously with those around him. His love for learning was matched only by his love for others—a trait that made him a cherished presence in the lives of family and friends alike.
John's Catholic faith was an important part of his identity and values. It informed the compassion and kindness that defined his interactions with others. He had a big personality—always positive, full of life, intelligent, loving and warm. Quick with a joke and quicker still to offer comfort or advice, John had an extraordinary ability to make everyone feel welcomed and valued.
Family was always John's top priority. He consistently put their needs above all else and served as a trusted source of guidance for those closest to him. His wisdom and support were sought after by many who knew they could count on him through life's challenges.
John passed away after the passing of his beloved parents, Maureen A. Keating and John Keating. His memories will live on through his surviving wife, family members and dear friends.
For three decades, John shared an unbreakable bond with someone who described him not only as a soulmate but also as a best friend in life. Their time together—filled with laughter, traveling, shopping trips, cooking sessions, errands run side by side, shared text messages and emoticons and jokes constantly with each other. We couldn't wait to see each other to tell one another about our day—was marked by deep love and mutual respect. That enduring connection remains etched in memory: "I will always remember him until the end of time until we meet again."
John Kevin Keating's vibrant spirit touched countless lives. May his memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved him.
