Patrick “Pat” Joseph Keenan, age 66 of Colorado Springs, Colorado passed away on Wednesday, February 5, 2025 peacefully in his home surrounded by his loving family, after a brief illness.
Born January 16, 1959 in Fort Knox, Kentucky, he was the son of the late Barbara “Girlie” Jackson Keenan and Jasper Earl Keenan. He was raised in Louisville, Kentucky. After graduating high school, Pat enlisted in the United States Air Force where he proudly served for 10 years. After completing his enlistment, Pat entered the workforce as an IT specialist where he worked for several companies before retiring in April of 2024.
On September 2, 2006 Patrick married Margaret Renee Reynolds (McAdams) and together they shared 16 wonderful years of marriage before her passing on July 18, 2022. They resided together in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where they shared years of laughter, love, and joy. Patrick gave his entire heart to those he cared for, loving his children and family no matter if they were by blood or by marriage.
Patrick was a thrill-seeker who had many different hobbies and passions. He loved to be outdoors, where he would dirt bike, drag race, camp, or simply go for a drive through the mountains. When he wasn’t outdoors, he would be working on home renovations, cooking, or spending time with his family watching movies. An amazing teacher to all, Patrick never passed on the opportunity to help his family and friends.
