Charles Keegan Obituary

Charles Brett Keegan (Charlie) passed away at his home in Colorado Springs on Wednesday November 24th. Born in Auburn, NY, Charlie was the oldest of six boys. An adventurous youth, he liked to push the envelope in life, a trait that stayed with him through adulthood. Annual camping trips with his grandfather and time spent playing in the woods garnered his love of the outdoors. He was popular among friends and involved in many extracurricular activities throughout his school years. He developed a love for Oriental Rugs while working at Jacobsen Oriental Rugs and that is what ultimately led him to Colorado Springs. Charlie owned an Oriental rug store downtown for many years until new interests led him in other directions. He married twice; Charlie and his second wife Kat were a great team for over 20 years until her unfortunate passing in 2003. He loved life and showered love on those fortunate to be a part of his world. He enjoyed great food, great wine, and travel (local and abroad). Fly fishing and dove hunting always held a special place in his heart as well. He is survived by his step-daughter Kristen Schmidt, granddaughter Erin Schmidt, father Brett Keegan, brothers John, Tom, Jim, Pete and Matt. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Kathlene (Kat) Keegan and his mother Peggy Keegan. Services will be held Sunday December 5th at All Souls Universalist Unitarian Church, 730 N Tejon St. Colorado Springs at 2 PM. There will be a reception after the services at Broadmoor West, One Lake Ave. Colorado Springs at 4 PM. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to The American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation or the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region.
