It is with deep regret and great sadness that the family of Thomas Murray Keen announce that he passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, November 20th, at the age of 62 years. Tom is lovingly remembered and survived by his wife Marlene and his children, Rachel, Kirsten, Gregory, Ben (Michelle), Patrick and Kaitlin. Tom is survived by his siblings Alex (Nonie), Cindy (Don), Ron, Janet (Don), Earl (Donna), and Jamie. He is also survived by Jennifer (the late Mike), Steven (Helen) and Teresa (Trent). Tom is very fondly remembered by his many loving nephews, nieces, extended family and all of his friends that he has made along the way. Tom was born in Woodbridge, Ontario on March 26th 1957 to Robert and Phyllis Keen. In his early years, Tom loved scouting, friendly competition and banter with his many siblings and friends. Tom played and coached his children in soccer, baseball and especially hockey (known for that sneaky wrist shot). Tom was the epitome of kindness and was a true handyman. He was known to drive long hours to help in anyway he could. He was a person you could always rely on.
