Beloved partner of Joanna Turchin for 25 years. Loving father of Stephen Begadon (Mary) and Roxane Dunmore (John). Cherished grandfather of Sydney and Ryan Begadon and Benjamin and Moira Dunmore.
Dear brother of Patricia Holland, Maura Begadon, Geraldine Phelan, Teresa Dunphy, Kathleen Mooney, Pauline Richardson, Lil McEvoy, Sadie O’Grady and Paugie Begadon. Kieran will be truly missed by Mary Hutchings, Deidre Phelan and many more nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by his parents Mary (nee Clancy) and Martin, his baby brother Francis, brother Marty and sister Stella Grogan.
After immigrating to Canada from Ireland and while working at a Hamilton Steel Mill, Kieran obtained his teacher’s certificate. Coaching basketball gave rise to the need for trophies. Thus over 50 years ago, Aran Trophies, Awards and Engraving was created in the basement of his home. This was developed into a well-known, thriving business now owned and operated by his daughter Roxane.
Retirement allowed him to pursue his passion of golf and start a new, creative hobby in wood working.
Kieran gave back to society in many ways, including volunteering with The Good Shepherd and as a driver with the Juravinski Cancer Hospital.
There are so many people to thank for their support during this journey:
Hamilton Health & Community Services, Hamilton Cancer Society, Dr Bob Kemp Hospice, PSW’s Eldho Kurian, Sandra Amiri and Nurse Suzanna.
Cremation has taken place. If so desired, memorial donations to Hamilton Health & Community Services, Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice or The Good Shepherd would be appreciated by the family. Online condolences can be made at cresmountfennellchapel.com.
