Russell Keenan Obituary
Russ was born in LaSalle, QC, on February 7, 1958, and will always be remembered for his quick wit, sense of humor and great love for his family and friends. Russ took great pride in his family: three beautiful sons, Kevin, Steven, and Corey (their mother Vanessa); his mother, Norah, and late father, Arnett; his brothers, Cliff (Sue), Randy, and Paul (Sharon); and sisters, Nancy (Phill) and Lori (Joe). He is also survived by his nieces and nephews, Missy (Paul), Jon (Jess), Jen (Brett), Nicky, Sammy, Ciaran, and Amanda, as well as other family members and friends.
Russ is in a better place, hopefully telling jokes and having a drink with his Dad and beloved brother, Randy.
The memorial service will be held at LaSalle Community Centre, 15 Avenue Highlands, LaSalle, on April 5 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, it is requested that donations be made to the Montreal Children's Hospital.
Russ' family and loved ones wish to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and support.
