- Mr. Shelton Rae Keen, age 69, of Lake City, Fl, passed away on Sunday, August 28th, 2022, at his residence. Mr. Keen was born in Lake City, Fl, on August 6th, 1953, son of the late Byron Keen and Rosette Keen (Waldron).
He attended Columbia High School, where he excelled at any sport he tried, but was most passionate about baseball and softball. Upon graduating in 1972, he enlisted in the Navy, where he joined the All-Navy Mens softball team and traveled the world doing what he loved most, playing ball. After being stationed in Japan, he ended his time in the Navy in Washington D.C. where he worked at the National Security Agency handling top secret information. Upon discharge from the military, he worked in the pharmacy at the V.A hospital until he retired in 2005. He enjoyed retired life and spent most of his free time on the golf course or watching his favorite team, The Florida Gators. He devoted his entire life to raising his two kids, something he was very proud of and talked about often. His last few years were spent being a Papa and loving on his 3 Grandchildren. He will be missed immensely by friends, family and everyone that knew him.
Survivors include his 2 Children, Shelley Cook (Daniel), St. Augustine, Fl; Shawn Keen (Tara), Lake City, Fl; 2 brothers, Edward Keen; Wayne Keen (Sandra); 3 sisters, Dot Christie; Byronelle Witt; and Voncile Hale (Morrison); all of Lake City, Fl. Countless nieces, nephews and cousins also survive.
A celebration of life will be held at Christ Central Ministries in Lake City, Fl, Saturday, September 10th, 2022 with visitation at 11am and service to follow at noon. Per Sheltons wishes, everyone is asked to wear Orange/Blue or your favorite Gator attire.
