Bobby Keen Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A proud graduate of Riverside High School, Bobby was a devoted fan of Riverside Panther football, cheering passionately for his teams alongside the Tennessee Vols and Miami Dolphins. His heart, however, belonged most to his family. He cherished every moment spent with his wife of 33 years, Lisa Keen, his sons, Jacob (Leighton) and Aaron (Katy), Mason Keen and his granddaughters, Maisy Elise and Lylah Paige. Bobby was preceded in death by his beloved son, Mason Keen, and his parents, Larue and Charles Keen. He leaves behind a close-knit family, including his siblings, Jimmy (Connie), Timmy (Cathy), Susan (Jeff), Joyce (Brown), Gary (Delynn), Paul (Carla), Charlie (Beverly) and David Keen (Lynn), who will forever hold his memory dear.
Bobby found joy in his shop, where he tinkered and created, and in the simple pleasures of life, like watching football and making memories with his children and grandchildren. His protective spirit and adventurous heart made him a pillar of strength and a source of warmth for those fortunate to know him.
