In Loving Memory of Colin Michael McKeen. Colin suddenly passed away in an accident on Wednesday, May 22, 2024. He was born on July 27, 1988, in Spring, Texas. He was the beloved son of Rhonda and Michael McKeen, brother to Meaghan McKeen, uncle to Elliott Howard, husband to Stephanie Randolph, and, most importantly, father to Nova, Anna and Ava.
Family and friendship meant everything to Colin. He brought immense joy and love to those closest to him. His selflessness knew no bounds, and he always put the needs of others before his own. Colin cherished his roles as a father, loyal friend, and partner. Whether it was supporting his daughters, being a compassionate listener, or creating moments of joy and laughter, Colin's presence was steadfast and unwavering.
Colin loved being outside and riding anything with wheels. Bikes, motorcycles, four-wheelers, one-wheels, forklifts-you name it, he could drive it. Colin embraced every moment with unwavering enthusiasm and a childlike sense of adventure. More than anything, he was the glue that held us all together. Not a weekend went by without a family get-together or friends gathered by the fire. Whether he was working hard as a machinist at aTTi or playing with the kids at the playground, he approached life with a sense of purpose and dedication that inspired all who knew him. His adventurous spirit and love for life were contagious, and he encouraged others to live each day to the fullest.
Though Colin may no longer be with us, his memory will forever be engraved in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of love, kindness, and perseverance will continue to inspire us all.
As we mourn the loss of Colin, may we find solace in the cherished memories we shared and the everlasting impact he had on our lives. May he rest in peace, knowing that he was loved deeply and will be profoundly missed.
He is survived by his wife, Stephanie and daughters, Nova, Anna and Ava; father, Michael Mckeen; mother, Rhonda Mckeen and sister, Meaghan Mckeen and nephew, Elliott; aunt, Carleen Bagnall and uncle, Robert Bagnall. Along with his cousins, Justin, Lisa Bagnall, Christine Bagnall and Jesse Bernhardt.
He is now with his grandmother, Virginia McKeen and grandfather, Charles Mckeen. Along with grandmother, Kathleen Elmlinger and grandpa, Carl Elmlinger.
Colin's care has been entrusted to Claire Brothers Funeral Home, 7901 Hillcroft Street, Houston, Texas 77081.

As his sister he is in all my young life memories. He was the first helping hand I could hold, and he always looked out for me even if I didn't know it.
