John Keenan Obituary

John Patrick Keenan
July 21, 1978 - September 21, 2022
Raleigh, North Carolina - It is with great sadness the family of John Patrick Keenan announces his passing. John was born on July 21, 1978 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, then lived in Raleigh until moving to Colorado in 2002. There he became an accomplished photographer, as he always found beauty in nature. John was preceded in death by both sets of grandparents; Virginia and John Keenan and Anna and Trent Ragland, Jr. of Raleigh. He is survived by his loving family who will remember his kind heart, sharp wit and limitless generosity. In honor of John, we invite you to make a donation to Triangle Family Services : Triangle Family Services,3937 Western Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27606.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
