Keegan was a devoted husband to his wife, Holli, and a loving father to Keely, Emily, and Andru. He was deeply committed to his family and found his greatest purpose in being a husband, father, and protector of those he loved. His family was what drove him to survive, what made him wake up every day ready to live life to the fullest.

He was the founder of Brutal Security, and was known for his integrity, expertise, and dedication to his craft. His beautiful mind was the tool that made his passion for technology possible.

He leaves behind a legacy that reaches far beyond technology. He leaves it in the lives he lifted, the people he protected, the children he raised, and the love he gave without hesitation to those closest to him. He was a shining light of strength, resilience, and perseverance to all in the cancer community.
