Perry Keaton Obituary
September 3, 1946 - April 17, 2019
Perry was born in Hollywood and raised in Burbank. He is survived by his partner and best friend Kathy Eastman; children David Keaton and Kristin Keaton Rumba (Steven), his brother Richard, and an adopted family in Chile. He served in the US Army and spent 14 months in Vietnam. He had several careers but since moving to Santa Rosa in 1996 he has worked in and around the funeral industry. He loved people and to him no one was a stranger. He loved his trips to Chile as much as they loved having him there, even though there was a language barrier he never let that stop him.
Family and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life on Saturday April 27, 2019 at 3:00P.M. at Eggen & Lance Chapel, 1540 Mendocino Ave, Santa Rosa. Private inurnment at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery

Dear David, Kristin and Rusty,
The Thomas family formerly of Burbank, California sends their condolences to the Keaton family. Perry was a big part of our family, especially in our growing up years. My father Jim Thomas, (deceased June 2018) was very fond of Perry and considered him a "son". My parents, Jim and Mary Thomas are godparents to Perry and Peggy's daughter Kristin. It is our prayer that you find comfort in your memories of your brother, our friend and "adoptive brother, Perry.
