He was born in Worcester, the son of Francis J. McKeon, Sr. and Constance V. (Pentland) McKeon and graduated from Worcester Boy’s Trade as a plumber. He then worked as a painter for Botany Bay Construction and later for himself. Kevin loved Maine, especially Wells Beach and Old Orchard Beach and enjoyed the time he spent there with family and friends. He will be remembered for his ability to make others laugh, the joy he experienced when dancing with Roxanne and his racquet ball abilities.
