Roger Keenan Obituary

Roger "Keith" Keenan 1956 - 2013 Roger "Keith" Keenan passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 8, 2013. He was born on July 12, 1956, in Norman, Oklahoma, to Kenneth and Barbara Keenan Sr. After graduating from Edgewood High School in 1975, Keith enrolled in Cal State Fullerton. However, his college career quickly ended as he pursued other interests. In 1978, Keith met and fell in love with his life partner, Glenn Harders, and moved to Merced, California. It was there that Keith began working as a medical receptionist at United States Air Force (USAF) Mercy Medical Center Merced Hospital. Keith packed up his belongings and moved to Florida in 2004 to help a close friend start a successful construction business. Once his parents became ill, Keith moved back to California and upheld a childhood promise to care for them until their deaths, while maintaining a full-time job. Anyone who knew Keith would describe him as a funny, caring, and generous man. Although he spent the majority of his life living in California, Keith enjoyed traveling throughout the world. Keith was preceded in death by his parents. He is remembered by his partner, five brothers and sisters, and their families. For condolences please visit www.greenlawnmortuaryandcemetery.com.
