Brian "Steve" Keen's Obituary
Brian Stephen Keen, “Steve”, 58, loving husband, father, brother, son, and friend passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, January 28th, 2022 after a long, hard fought battle with leukemia. He was surrounded by his wife, daughters, and close family.
Steve was born on August 11, 1963 in Atlanta, Georgia. He was the second of five children of Ted and Yvonne Keen. He is survived in death by his wife, Tamara Keen (Murphy), his daughters Sydney and Maiya Keen, his brothers Stan (Bill), Ted (Julie), and Matt, his father Ted Keen, and many loving members of his extended family. He was preceded by his mother, Yvonne Keen, and his brother Clay Keen.
Steve attended Georgia State University where he received a Bachelor of Arts in English; he then went on to Life University in Marietta, Georgia to attend Chiropractic school where he became a Doctor of Chiropractic. It was there where he met the love of his life, Tami and together they built a beautiful life with their two daughters. Steve spent his free time enjoying his family and dogs, reading, and watching movies—whenever the chance arose, he loved fishing and hunting and playing a round of golf.
Steve was an avid sports fan, especially baseball, and truly loved all things Georgia—the Falcons, the Braves, the UGA Bulldogs, and was especially thrilled to see both the Braves and the Bulldogs excel this past season.
As Dr. Keen, Steve worked for Multi-Specialty HealthCare and his care has made a lasting impact on so many patients as well as the staff that has worked with him for the past twenty years.
Steve will be remembered as a quiet man with a quick wit and a genuine smile, someone always willing to lend a hand, a calming presence, and a great father, husband, brother, son, cousin, and friend.
