Tommy Keene, a beloved husband, father and grandfather passed away in Lamar, Arkansas on Sunday, March 23rd, 2025. He was born on August 28th, 1962 to the late Alfred and Ethel (Hardin) Keene in Russellville, Arkansas.
Tommy Keene worked in pipeline and construction work most of his life. Tommy found joy in spending time outside fishing, hunting, camping, riding his motorcycle, riding horses and spending time with family and friends. Tommy was known for his kind heart, his sense of humor and his homemade wine. Tommy was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back.
Those that are left to cherish the memories of Tommy are his wife, Patty Keene; his children, Scotty and Tosha Keene; his grandchildren, Peyton and Colton Keene; brothers, Kenneth Keene and James Keene; sister-in-law, Rachel Smith; daughter in law, Erika Keene; brother-in-law, Joe McCarley and brother-in-law, Shane McCarley and too many friends and family to even begin to name. Tommy was a beloved member of the Lamar community.
A memorial service to celebrate Tommy's life will be held at 2:00pm Saturday, March 29th, 2025 at Roller Cox Funeral Home Chapel in Clarksville, Arkansas.
In lieu of flowers, the family ask for donations to be made to help cover family expenses incurred during this time.
