David Bradley Keenan

David Bradley Keenan passed in his sleep on March 19th, 2025 at his home in Yantis, Texas . The sweet smile that was David’s trademark will now be forever shared with his heavenly father and all those who preceded him in death. With all the issues David faced throughout his 55 years, he was always a blessing to be around and could be counted on to brighten your day. David had all the support and resources necessary to allow him to stay with his parents in his home. For the last 40 years he was cared for with love in succession by Anna Guandique and her family, Carmen and Julio Santizo and now their granddaughters Paola and Daniela. The Keenan family has truly been blessed.

A long line of canine friends (mostly Labrador Retrievers, and Dachshunds) also helped raise David and shared the joy only dogs can bring. David had a happy life.

David is survived by his mother Deborah LeFevre Keenan father Thomas, brother Thomas Kevin, sister-in-law, Natalia, nieces, Ashton and Kylie and nephew Jackson. David has many relatives spread around Texas, California, Illinois, Iowa, Oregon and Michigan. David was born in Alton, Illinois on October 5, 1969.
