Michael C. Keenan

While I never met Michael, I am his youngest brother Rick´s niece, Lora Rendall. My condolences to you all. He sounded like an amazing man and your family well-loved all his days and blessed. May the Lord bring you comfort as you grieve and miss him dearly.

Sorry to heat of Mike's passing. In past years, it was always nice to see him walking on the roads by White Lake. Libby, our thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family.

Mike was a mentor to me early in my career as a life insurance professional. We used to meet in his office once a week on the same day at the same time. He was very generous with his time, and he taught me so much about being disciplined and staying focused, much like the way he lived his life. Mike loved his family dearly, and especially enjoyed spending time at the "cottage" in Michigan. My wife and I took a trip to MI one summer and he insisted on having us stop by to meet the family. We did and they were all so pleasant. While there, he gave us a bueatiful hand carved wooden bowl. He was a kind, warm-hearted gentleman who will be missed dearly. I'm very fortunate to have met him. My thoughts go out to the family during this difficult time.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. He will be dearly missed.
Thinking of you and the family.

A great guy who cared for others, a real leader in our industry who made a positive impression on all who had the privilege to spend time with him!

Well done faithful servant.

Mike was a recognized leader in the life insurance industry, and was well known for being frugal, a dedicated hard worker, and for always knowing the locations of the nearest Subway Sandwich shops. He was an advocate for the Life Foundation from its inception and helped it grow from an idea to a recognized institution. Our thoughts go out to the Keenan Family.

I will always treasure my memories of Mike when we were in the Jaycees together. He was great fun and a wonderful friend. Thanks to Libby and Mike for introducing me to my wife of 56 years. Our love and heartfelt condolences.

I had the great pleasure of working with Mike for many years at Life Happens. We always had a smile on his face and wanted to know what I was up to outside of work. We talked about baseball (his beloved Cubs and my Phillies) on many business trips across the country. Thinking of the whole Keenan family.

Thoughts and prayers for your loss, Libby and family. Remembering you fondly from Jaycee days in Evanston. Til we meet again, Mike!

I had the honor of getting to know Mike and was able to work with him. I always enjoyed it and he was a great man.

Sad to see this post. Prayers for Libby and family as goodbyes are so hard. Such a beautiful legacy of and amazing man.

Sorry to hear of Mikes passing. A great man in the business.

Dear Libby - I am saddened to read about the passing of your husband of 59 years! On every occasion I had to see him, he was friendly and pleasant. My sympathies as you mourn his loss in your life and that of the family.

Oh, Libby. No wonder you've been on my mind lately. We need to "do lunch" again and catch up. I'm so sorry to read of Mike's death. What a long and wonderful life he had! I wish I'd known him.

Dear Libby and my cousins,
Mike was the sun that kept the planets in alignment for so many, most particularly for my mother (his sister), Mary. He was rock-solid in his love and support for his family, while his fundamental goodness and generosity of spirit was evident all his life. I loved his ability to tap into a goofy side -
he somehow kept the child within him whole and available when his early life became bleak; it's one of the many things I always admired about him. I'm so sorry for you all - it's a massive blow to lose a wonderful father and husband, but please know he was well-loved by his extended family, whose lives he touched in a million ways.
All my love,
Julie

This news breaks my heart. I had the absolute pleasure of knowing Mike. I was the nanny for 3 of Mike´s grandchildren. You would have thought I was one of his grandchildren too for the way he would treat me when out to visit his family in Seattle. Always so kind, generous and caring. I´ll never forget traveling with the kids and Lucy to Evanston and then on to White Lake to visit Libby and Mike. After reading his obituary and seeing how much he loved baseball, that cubs game we all went to means so much more to me now. I´m feeling very lucky to have known Mike Keenan. Sending all of my love to the family, I am just so sorry for your loss.

Libby & Family, we are so sorry to read of Mike's passing. We got to know him a little when we bought your speedboat for our kids many years ago. A real gentleman! It was nice to live down the lake from your cottage for 43 years and to run into you often. I even found wedding photos along South Shore on one of my walks. They had blown off the car when momentarily placed there. Libby, you made some very delicious brownies for our family as a thank-you! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I didn't know Mike, but his life as described was an inspiration. My condolences to his family.

Libby and family, So sad to read of Mike's passing and I am glad I had a visit with him not long ago at White Lake Assisted Living. I had gone to visit my friend down the hall and just happened to bump into Mike. He knew me and we had a nice chat. Mike was always so very friendly and he will be missed not only by his family but the many friends he had.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time
