Keegan was diagnosed with ALL on March 1, 2004. He faced this disease with grace and good cheer. He always focused on the positive things about his conditions. There are things he loved about having cancer—being an honoree for Team In Training is one of them!
Keegan loved being bald. He has a rather large head, and there was a lot of shiny real estate up top that captured the attention of everyone. Rather than hiding from staring children, he opened up to them and told them about his cancer.
Surrounded by people who cared about him, Keegan passed away on Tuesday September 12, 2006. Keegan has and will continue to inspire hundreds and maybe even thousands of people to compete in their first endurance event.
