PATRICK JOSEPH "PAT" KEADY

KEADY, Patrick "Pat" Joseph Of Brighton, passed away on July 20, 2024, after a lengthy illness. Beloved son of late William and Sarah (Haughton) Keady. Adored husband of almost 60 years to Kathleen (Scanlon) Keady. Devoted father of Sheila and her husband, Robert Rawson of Arlington and Deirdre of Medford. Brother of Ann Farrell of Ireland and the late Celia O'Sullivan, Christopher Keady and William "Liam" Keady. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins. Born in Athy Co., Kildare, Ireland, he grew up on his parents' farm and developed his love of horses in the shadow of the Curragh. After immigrating to the United States, he came and settled in the Brighton neighborhood. He was a proud retiree of the Gillette Company, where he mastered the computer programming language COBOL. He was an avid Red Sox fan and a participant at Brighton's Senior Center, particularly the Cara Club, sponsored by the Irish Pastoral Center. Patrick's faith was very important to him and he took pride in being an usher at St. Columbkille's Church. His favorite role was that of husband and father and nothing brought him greater joy than spending time with his family. They will miss him deeply. Patrick's family would like to express much gratitude to his many caretakers through the years, particularly those in recent months from Good Shepherd Community Care.
