Erik K. Keeney

The moon comes up.
The moon goes down.
This is to inform you
that I didn’t die young.
Age swept past me
but I caught up.
Spring has begun here and each day
brings new birds up from Mexico.
Yesterday I got a call from the outside
world but I said no in thunder.
I was a dog on a short chain
and now there’s no chain.

-Jim Harrison

We are so sorry for your loss. It is so. difficult when the loss is your first born son. His life experience was amazing and he served everyone and cherished his many friendships as noted in the condolences we are praying for all of you. We also treasure your friendship.

Peace and prayers to the Keeney family. I'll surely pass along something to someone in need in Erik's memory, a beautiful way to live, God Bless.

Difficult to relize that this LIGHT of the world is now shining everywhere! I met Erik during his days at Snowmass Monastery. Always present in conversation. A gentle caring energy. His address at Fr. Thomas's memorial gathering at Aspen Chapel is seared in my heart. May God's love surround all family members and friends for ever and ever. Shine on dear Erik!
