KEEGAN, John
In Loving Memory
of John Keegan
May 11, 1933 – July 25, 2025
Our beloved Dad, John Keegan,
passed away peacefully in his
favourite chair early Friday, 25 July
— just as he wished, in his own home,
with no fuss.
At 92, he lived independently almost to the end.
He told us he’d had a good run,
and he passed calmly and contentedly.
Originally from Wales,
John immigrated to Australia in 1969
as a Ten Pound Pom.
He lived with an adventurous
spirit and a warm heart.
John was a devoted father
to Rick and Simon,
and a proud grandfather to
Taryn, Adam, Jett, Mace, Scout, and Keat,
and great-grandfather to
Alia, Indy, Will, Bodhi,
Riley, and Alice.
He was a much-loved father-in-law
to Terry and Haidee,
a cherished brother to Colin, Teresa, Vera, Jo, and Moira,
and a loyal friend and confidante to many.
His dogs — Ninja the First, Second, and Third
— were treasured companions.
An entrepreneur, windsurfer,
lawn bowls champ, Duolingo wizard —
and with tech skills that could put a millennial to shame —
John lived fully.
He lives on through us.
