It is with a heavy heart we write this post today. Yesterday afternoon we lost the legend that was Robert “Bob” Keen Sr. To know Bob, was to love Bob; he was a man among men, and of those men, he was truly a Cowboy. Bob's legacy spans over 9 decades, in his 88 years of life, he impacted too many lives to count.
Bob’s generosity knew no bounds; he would take the shirt off his back for you, putting those who were a part of Team Keen ahead of all else in the world. Bob had a love for horses; Circle K Ranch K Ranch was his happy place, a place he built over a 60-year span with his blood, sweat, and tears.
Bob loved his family, his soulmate Anne who he would smile at the sheer mention of her name. He loved his son Bob Jr, who he spoke about often and proudly every chance he could. To Bob, family was more than those who shared his blood; it was everyone who came into his life and left him a bit happier. He loved his MK; he loved watching her ride Rocky around the farm and would say, “she’s sure gonna be something someday”.
We can’t fit 88 years into writing. If you were lucky enough to have been a part of Bob's life, big or small, take a moment and remember him.
There will never be another Robert Keen Sr, and for that, the world is a bit less fortunate today. But what he left behind is an example of what we should all aspire to be. We will miss you Bob; as hard as it will be to not have you out there on the gator watching over us with Dove just a few strides behind, we will press on and keep your dream alive.
We have it from here, partner……
Team Keen!
