Kenneth Jeremiah Keohen

KENNETH JEREMIAH KEOHEN, age 62, of Montgomery, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at Mayo Clinic Health System in New Prague.

Ken was born on March 11, 1963, in New Prague, the son of Jeremiah Sr. and Karen (O’Brien) Keohen. He grew up in Montgomery, attended Most Holy Redeemer Catholic School through eighth grade, and graduated from Montgomery-Lonsdale High School with the Class of 1981.

After high school, Ken moved to Minneapolis, where he worked for Merillat Cabinetry before returning to Montgomery. Even after moving home, he continued working in the metro area, managing a gas station in South Minneapolis and later serving as Assistant Manager of the C-Store at Farmer’s Grandson in Lakeville. For more than 30 years, Ken also delivered newspapers to local gas stations for the Star Tribune.

Ken was a hard worker, but he enjoyed life’s simple pleasures. He loved old western shows, listening to Elvis Presley, and caring for his cars—especially his beloved 1984 Camaro. He will be remembered as one of the kindest people you could meet, always ready to help others. Ken was a lifelong member of Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Montgomery.

Ken is survived by his siblings: Jerry Keohen Jr. of Montgomery; Kevin (Mary Kaye) Keohen of Shakopee; Katy Keohen of Shakopee; and Chuck (Amy) Keohen of North Richland Hills, TX; nieces and nephews: Jane (Richie) Breeggemann, Jennifer (Matt) Packard, Thomas (Nicole) Keohen, Emily Keohen, and P.J. Keohen; five great-nieces and nephews; and many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Funeral Service will be held at 3:00 PM on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at the Montgomery Chapel of Schoenbauer Funeral Homes. Visitation will begin at 1:00 PM and continue until the time of service at the funeral chapel. Interment will follow at Calvary Cemetery in Montgomery.
