This memorial website was created in the memory of my dad, Jack Keane, 60, he was born on February 25, 1952 and passed away on May 23, 2012 in a tragic car accident. We will love and remember him forever!

John T. (Jack) Keane "Irish" age 60, born in Chicago, IL, son of Marguerite (nee McDonough) and the late John J; dear husband of Patricia Wilson; loving father of Shannon and Jacqueline; life long friend of Peggy Keane (nee Leahy); nephew and cousin to many and friend to all. Was a proud graduate of Queen of Martyrs elementary, Br. Rice High School and St. Thomas University. He was literally a "Jack of all trades", working in political circles, sales, construction management, and finance all at different points in his life. He faced many hardships and overcame them all, and although he was not perfect, he was truly a great man who had huge dreams and tried his hardest to make them come true for himself and everyone he knew and loved. The Memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 30, 11:30 a.m. at the Church of the Holy Family, 102 Marquette St., Park Forest, IL 60466 (Sauk Trail at Orchard) Reception to follow.

It hasn all been said! It breaks my heart that you have been cheated out of so many years while other people go on. Every year that goes by I think I will not cry and then I see what Shannon writes on Facebook and it breaks my heart to see how much losing you so young has caused so much pain for your Beautiful Daughters. I hope there is life after death because you had so much to live for.
Watch over your girls Shannon, Jacqueline, Maggie and Caity. Love Always,

I can't believe it's been 10 years since he was tragically taken from us and our world changed forever! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it all again for the rest of my life...But I miss everything about him; from his deep singing voice and unmistakeable laugh, to his cooking/baking (everything from holiday meals to cookies and the simplest sandwiches), his huge smile, the way he would get all worked up watching football, the rusty orange fleck in his eye, his white socks with moccasins, and his giant back cracking bear hugs!

I look at both of my girls and see him in them all the time, especially Caitlin right now since she’s basically my twin and I look so much like my dad. Knowing that he is the one grandparent who doesn't get to hug and snuggle them when I know he would have been the one to do so the most, since that's the kind of dad he was, truly breaks my heart over and over 

I will take every opportunity to share stories about him, show them pictures, teach them how to cook like him, keep our traditions alive, let them know what kind of a person he was and most importantly I will tell them how much he loves them and watches over them everyday!

I love you so much dad...words can never truly describe it!

There are many fond memories of Jack while groing up. We went through grammar school together and "hung out" while in high school with many good friends. We had a grammar school reunion in the mid 80'a and had a blast putting this all together. My prayers are with you and your family. Maureen Redmon Somersett

My thoughts and prayers are with you girls and your family. I went to grammar school with your dad and he was a great guy. Always a smile on his face and kind. Made everyone laugh. Will always remember him fondly. You had a wonderful dad and he will always be with you.

We were always excited when Jackie, Uncle Jack, and Aunt Marge were coming over. To me, his arrival meant FUN and lots of laughs. He and my older brother Jim had a way of getting into mischief. I can remember a 4th of July when Jackie blew hole in our pool with a cherry bomb....Aunt Marge was not happy. We thought it was HILARIOUS!
