Robert was a generous man who always put others first. He loved spending time with his family, especially his six grandchildren. He was a faithful member of The Church at Argyle and an avid pickleball player. He was known for telling stories and jokes everywhere he went. Even during his long battle with cancer he never lost his positive attitude or his sense of humor. He was an inspiration to many and will be sorely missed.
Robert is preceded in death by his parents and his brother Albert S. Keuning. He is survived by his wife Diane, children Kristen Rountree and Scott Keuning, his sister Pat Dubrava Keuning and his grandchildren Bruce, Kennedy, Brant, Carter, McKinley, and Kamdyn.
