Passing of W:. David Keen

Brethren,

It is with the deepest sorrow that the family and I announce the Passing to the Eternal East of Worshipful Brother David Walden Keen at 2:00 am this morning, January 8th.  W.·. David was a devoted son, father to David, Jr. (DJ) and Melissa, brother to Debbie, Danny, Kerry, and Dawna, brother-in-law, uncle, and "Big-Papa" to his adoring grandkids. David was preceded in death by his mother, Karen (2006), and father, R.·.W.·. Jackie W. Keen (the original "PaPa") in 2018.  W.·. David was a loyal, 19-year Member of this Fraternity, a Perpetual Member of Kathleen Lodge No. 338, and Past Master in 2013, and could always be seen volunteering to cook at the annual Pig Roast.  Brother, you will be dearly missed!

Funeral arrangements will be announced as soon as they are available.

Fraternally,
R:.W:. Bill Doolin, Secretary Kathleen Lodge No. 338
