Donald Keen, Jr. Obituary

Mr. Donald Eugene Keen, Jr., 67, passed away on Saturday, August 19, 2023. Mr. Keen was a fan of all sports. He had an acute memory of scores. He talked to the sports writers in Texas as an informant because he was so accurate on the scores. He played guitar and loved to tell jokes. He is preceded in death by his father: Donald Eugene Keen; grandparents: Sigmund and Ruth Keen, Jewel Dean and Evie Dean. He is survived by his mother: Cora Marie Dean Keen; 2 sisters: Wendy Woodfin, Diane Knodel; 1 brother: Eddie Keen; 6 nieces and 12 great nieces and nephews. The family will have a memorial service at a later date.
