DEATH NOTICE
John Kevin McKeown
Beloved elder son of John Joseph “Jack” McKeown and Helen Clare McKay, both originally of Ottawa, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 1, 2016, at the Prescott-Russell Residence in Hawkesbury, Ontario, at the age of 84.
John is survived by his brother, Brian (Linda Svendsen) of Vancouver, nephews Jesse McKeown (Marthe Bernard) of Los Angeles, California and Gabriel McKeown of Vancouver and his niece, Kathleen McKeown also of Vancouver. And John will be sorely missed by his step-nephew, Christian Parker, of Vancouver.
John resided in Hawkesbury almost all of his life and worked at the Canadian International Paper Company sulphite mill until it closed in 1982.
He was very well-known in the town. He touched many lives and many people call him their friend. For the last thirty years, John was a grateful and active member of the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. He became known for his extraordinary spirit - easy-going, humble and generous. He helped many people, both by his example and by deed.
He was truly a good-hearted man and he will be missed.
John’s family would like to express their deep gratitude to the nurses and staff at the Prescott-Russell Residence in Hawkesbury, for the extraordinary and loving care they gave John over the past two months.
Friends may call at Berthiaume Family Funeral Home 416, McGill, Hawkesbury, Ontario (877) 632-8511, on Monday, January 4, 2016 from 7 to 10 p.m. and Tuesday January 5, 2016 from 9:30 a.m.
A funeral service will be held at St-Jude's Parish in Hawkesbury on Tuesday, January 5, 2016 at 11 a.m.
For those who wish, donations to the Prescott-Russell Nursing Home Foundation, 1020, Cartier Blvd, Hawkesbury, Ontario, K6A 1W7 would be appreciated.

Dear Brian, Just a few words to offer you my sympathy on the death of your Brother, John. Brian you are a tremendous power of example to me of the strength of bonds within a family. I understand that your family will be joining you today in Hawkesbury and, am in no doubt, that will bring you comfort. Will be at the Service to celebrate John's life on Tuesday. John will be missed by so many of us. Sincerely, Janice

Brian, Mike, the boys and I will never forget our pal John. We shared some great laughs together, and he taught me some very important life lessons. I am truly blessed to have been able to call John my friend. Love to you and yours, Brian... Sara, Mike, Declan, Owen and Séamus

My deepest sympathy to Brian and family in John's passing. Unfortunately I will be unable to attend the service at St. Jude's. Would have liked to see you again after so many years. I have fond memories of your Mom Helen, and my frequent encounters with John especially at the restaurant. Notwithstanding John's good humour, I know he was a shy person, very private, and a good soul. May he rest in peace. I will have a mass for him at St. Jude's when our parish priest returns in Feb. I am sure you will miss him very much. Again I am sorry for your loss.
