Michael J. Keevan

Hey coach. I am still swimming, 30 years later. And I finally learned to keep my head down. Thank you for teaching me to swim.

I taught with Mike for a number of years and will always have fond memories of our time in the gym. I appreciate everything I learned from him as well as his passion for the pool. Rest easy Mike.

Having you as Swim coach was a life transforming experience. Rest in Peace.

From 1976, grew-up and down(many times) with Keev. Best wishes to Matt and family. RIP buddy! Solty

So very sorry to hear of coach´s passing. He was my coach for many years and pushed me to be a better swimmer! We had some great times! RIP coach. Prayers to you and your family.

I have wonderful memories of the swim team at Gun Lake, swimming from Chicago Point to the Island and back, with Coach Keevan in a canoe alongside us all the way. He coached three Strayer girls early in his career, and I cherish my memories of that time. My thoughts and prayers for his family.

In just a flash a flood of memories come rushing in. Whether it was a kick board wizzing by my head or coach just putting his arm around me with encouraging words. A lot of time spent together in the four years that I knew coach and I´m grateful for all of them. You made me a swimmer for life and I wish I had the opportunity to thank you. Thanks Coach, you will always have a special place in my heart.

I was so saddened to hear of Mike´s passing. I worked with Mike at DHS for many years, and we had some great laughs and times along with other staff members. Rest In Peace Mike, and my sympathy to Matt and family.

I was lucky enough to have known Mike. We co-taught swimming to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade DeWitt Middle Schoolers. Working with Mike was a pleasure, it was a "laugh a minute". He always had a great attitude and a fun loving spirit. Mike will be sorely missed. Condolence to the family.
