A father, brother, husband, grandfather, and friend. Keenan did not know a stranger and met everyone with open arms and love.

Keenan, fondly known as Keelo, was born to Patricia Ann Armstrong, on June 23, 1967, in Davenport, Iowa. He was very passionate about cooking and filling bellies and hearts through the kitchen. You could give him any item and he would surely make a meal. A tactic he would use to reel you in and keep you in a deep conversation for hours. He was very set in his ways and made sure to pass that down for generations to come. Keenan valued family and expressed profound love for his wife, children, and sister and uncle until his dying day.

Keenan believed strongly that family was all that mattered and all you would have in the end. Today that stands true, as everyone gathers to show that his legacy and the love he shared will forever reign true. Love you and Later were his coined statements. Until next time Keelo G, your legacy continues.

His sister: Valarie Morrow (Terry).

One great-grandson (Kylan). His wife, Deborah Armstrong. His nieces: Shakayla and Rayven and his nephew Terry Jr. To continue to cherish his memory also includes: three grand-nieces, a host of cousins and other family and friends.

John 14:1-3

Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.

Poem

Until we meet Again

Those special memories of you

Will always bring a smile

If only I could have you back

For just a little while

Then we could sit and talk again

Just like we used to do

You always meant so very much

And always will do too

The fact that you're no longer here

Will always cause me pain

But your forever in my heart

Until we Meet Again
