Kevin you were always so positive and to me very courageous. I felt very privilege to help look after you. You have such a wonderful family and I pray that they have the strength to cope with their loss. I will miss you, Christine Greaney

Kevin, our paths have crossed many times over the years. It has been a priviledge to have known you and for me personally, to have helped care for you in the last few months. A truely lovely man. Condolences to Annette and family.

Kevin Wright - Tennis (and so Life) Coach
The Keene Clan will sorely miss Kevin with his passing on 5 April 2013. Always listening, always smiling, he was very much a part of our lives. Firm but unflappable he saw the humour in any situation and so gave and drew support. So great was his patience he even tried to teach cousin Brian topspin forehands (failed) and the next generation, James and Gareth tennis product marketing (one out of two's not bad).

For now three generations, the Wrights and the Keenes were joined at the hip and came together in times of joy and in harder times for solace and help. Never were they turned away so great was his and the family's generosity.

Our condolences go out to Annette, Suzie, Brendan, Katie and their families in this difficult time. He was so proud of you all – and you fulfilled his life. Missed indeed by his Keene Clan peer group John, Maureen, Brian, Annie and Nancy, and the next generation; - Michelle, Tracy, Sarah, James, Gareth, Sam, Ben and Mary (and their spouses).

Cruelly taken while still having so much more to give.

Only the good die young!

The Keenes

We will miss you Kev. The tall oak tree has fallen but memories of our fun in the sun remain.
To your wonderful family - you are a shining example of love during adversity.
Maureen
