Michael Keith Kirwan

2021.

Keith was born on December 29, 1939 in Atlanta, Georgia to the late Gilbert and Nancy Kirwan. He graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology and married Sue Wells in September 1962.

Keith was a civil engineer. He worked for a NASA contractor in Huntsville, Alabama in the early 1960s and then joined Houdaille-Duval-Wright Construction Company in Jacksonville in 1964. He later worked for B.B. McCormick & Sons and J.B. Coxwell Contracting.

In addition to being a Little League coach and a Cub Scout leader for both his son and his grandchildren, Keith was an avid train enthusiast. Many family vacations included a steam train excursion or a visit to a train museum. He and Sue enjoyed traveling the world together, but their favorite trips were with their grandchildren to nearby Jekyll Island.

Keith was predeceased by his wife, Sue. Keith is survived by his only child, Michael B. Kirwan (Beth) of Jacksonville, Florida, two grandchildren, Andrew B. Kirwan and Stuart M. Kirwan of Jacksonville, Florida, and his brother, Bruce Kirwan (Linda) and nephew, Patrick Kirwan, both of Atlanta, GA.

The family thanks the staff of the Windsor at Ortega for the loving care and support they provided during Keith's time there.

A private graveside service for family will be held. Memorial contributions may be made to the Florida United Methodist Children's Home (fumch.org), 51 Children's Way, Enterprise, Florida 32725.
