Michael McKeever Obituary

11/07/1955 - 05/02/2021 Michael Alan McKeever, youngest son of Earl & Ruby McKeever, passed away on May 2, 2021, in Chico, California following a long battle with Alzheimer's. He was 65. Mike grew up in Southern California where he attended St. Hilary School and El Rancho High School, and built and installed residential and commercial custom cabinetry for 15 years. He taught the St. Hilary Youth Bible Study for 10 years and started Team Late Desert Racing. Mike and his wife moved to rural Butte County in 1991, where they built a home and raised two sons, Steven and Nathan. Mike did custom finish carpentry in Yuba and Colusa counties and surrounding areas for 25 years. He was a music lover who enjoyed local live music--both listening and performing. Mike is survived by his two sons, his daughter-in-law Brooke, and his wife, Rosemary; and by his brothers Bill, Peter, Mark, and Jim. Services are June 10 and 11 in Chico through Brusie Funeral Home, brusiefh.com. Brusie Funeral Home 530-342-5642

It’s been some time since Steve and I seen Mike. Sitting here thinking about our memories of him and his family. All we could say was how kind he was. How talented he was and so caring and giving. Funny too! We wish his family well and will always have pleasant memories of Mike. God Bless, Steve and Lynda Webb

Mike would always play his guitar for my daughter Olivia when he worked on the house. We were very fortunate to have met him. Truly a renaissance man, kind, intelligent and so humble. He was very proud of his boys and dearly loved his family. He introduced David to Tommy Emmanuel at the Brewery.

Mike worked for me for several years, was one of the kindest, loving friend. He was one of the best finish carpenters I’ve known. I know he will be missed.
