He had a big heart and would do anything for anyone in his life.  He loved life. His favorite things were his granddaughter, Tailynn, fishing, baseball trips with his son, and his life-long friends he had made since moving to Yulee.

Survivors include his spouse, Wendy Keen; two sons, Darrell Keen and David Keen; a daughter, Brantley Keen; a brother, Walter Keen (Susie); sister, Janet Keen Salmon; several nieces and nephews, other family members and many life-long friends.

In lieu of flowers the family will be developing an annual tennis scholarship for local youth in his name at a later date.
