James McKeown Obituary

James (Jim) Edward McKeown
02/02/1941 - 04/06/2024
In loving memory of James (Jim) Edward McKeown, who passed away peacefully on April 6, 2024. Jim was a proud graduate of Golden Gate University, where he cultivated his passion for lifelong learning and intellectual curiosity. An avid world traveler and photographer, Jim explored the globe with a sense of wonder and adventure, enriching his life with diverse experiences and cultures.
A true sports enthusiast, Jim was a devoted fan of the Oakland Athletics and the Golden State Warriors. He found joy in cheering on his favorite teams and sharing the excitement of victories with fellow fans.
Jim will be remembered for his warm heart and leaves behind cherished memories and a legacy of kindness that will continue to inspire those who knew him.
He is survived by his good friend Champ Nat and will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.
