Keegan was born in Plum to Casey and Jennifer Clontz Jan. 14, 2011. He attended Holiday Park Intermediate School and was preparing to start junior high at Plum Middle School this year. Keegan was his father's shadow, be it helping others, hunting, fishing or socializing. One of his favorite pastimes was riding his mini bike while his dad watched, though he equally enjoyed it when it was his dad's turn on the bike! As much as Keegan was his father's shadow, he was a true momma's boy. He loved her fiercely and if he could've put a GPS tracker on her, he probably would have. His days started and ended by hugging and loving on his mom. Keegan was the best big brother. He loved his sister and was an expert at torturing her, as only a brother could. When they teamed up they could convince their dad to do pretty much anything they wanted. They had to work significantly harder to convince mom. Keegan greatly enjoyed spending time with his grandparents. He looked forward to Friday dinners with Mimi and Pap. He loved watching movies with his Pap, especially those disapproved of by his Mimi. He cherished spending time at the lake with Nana and Boppy, Aunts, cousins and the rest of the lake family. Pop Pop and Mema's Steelers room was one of his favorite locations to relax, especially when he was with them. Keegan was part of the Plum Mustang Football Association and was everyone's favorite teammate. He had a great time hitting, but was less interested in getting hit. His time on the sid.s with his teammates were some of his favorite moments. The friends he made there, at school and in the neighborhood were some of his very best. Keegan would spend what seemed like countless hours playing with his friends up the street, as young boys do. He was the best at entertaining his younger cousins, and his parents' friends' kids, and could do so for hours. Keegan is survived by his adoring mom, Jennifer; and loving sister, Addilyn; grandparents, Denise and Jeff Hohman, Donna and Jim Egan and Tom and Kathryn Clontz; uncle, Chris; and aunt, Janna; uncle, Jim and aunt, Lisa; uncle, John; and aunt, Jenn; aunt, Rachel and aunt, Ashley; cousins, Chase, Cody and Tyler; uncle, Nick; and aunt, Kara; cousins, Legend and Layla; great-grandfather, Louis DiVittorio; and many great-aunts, great-uncles, and cousins. Pallbearers for the funeral will be Chris Hohman, Will Wilson, Vinnie DiVittorio, Jim Tunney, Dan Rittmeyer and Tyler Egan.
