Daniel Keenan, a Roseland resident and West Orange firefighter, won the 200 Club Valour Award in July of 2019.

West Orange’s Police and Fire Departments responded to a report of a vehicle crash with injuries.

Police arrived to find the driver of one of the vehicles unresponsive, while Daniel Keenan and others on the fire department found an unresponsive man on the shoulder as well as additional people with injuries from another accident.

While the police and fire departments were tending to the accident scene, a food truck attempted to pass between a police car blocking the middle lane and the crash scene. The food truck was stopped by police and fire personnel, but a chain reaction and multi-car collision then occurred involving a dump truck, police cars, fire trucks, and other drivers on the highway. One of the fire engines was struck in the chain reaction, and first responders inside the rescue truck rendering aid to the unresponsive patient were propelled around and struck cabinets and each other before coming to rest. Daniel Keenan rushed to the rescue truck to help, as there were now both injured first responders and car accident victims on the scene.

All injured first responders and civilians were transported to area hospitals and received further treatment.

“The borough would like to join the 200 Club of Essex County to recognise all of the first responders that day, but especially Roseland’s own, Daniel Keenan, for their heroic life-saving efforts under the dangerous and chaotic conditions that unfolded at the scene,” Roseland Mayor James Spango said in a post on the Roseland Borough website.

About Dan Keenan Dan Keenan Daniel Keenan

Dan Keenan, Nordic Skier


On the day that Dan Keenan was born, in 1955, he was destined to be a Nordic skier. His family skied, and even his doctor made some cardboard skis and strapped them to baby Dan’s feet. Dan excelled at the sport and was honoured to be part of the US Nordic Ski Team in 1974 and the Combine Team in 1975. The ski team was the first American team to go to Russia. Dan Keenan ranked as the #1 U.S. Nordic Combine skier for 3 years and finished 10th in the world! Dan competed for a position on the Olympic team but was disabled when he broke his foot on a record-setting jump.

Playing high school football was another favourite of Dan’s; he wore #52 for his team and played positions at centre, middle linebacker, and kicker at Middle Park High School in Granby, Colorado.

When the opportunity arose to get into the cattle business, Dan jumped into it wholeheartedly, raising and feeding cattle and farming to raise alfalfa hay. Dan owned and ran Keenan Kattle Company near Rifle for 28 years and owned his own truck to haul cattle from the high country.

Dan drove trucks throughout Colorado and nation-wide for 39 years, specialising in hauling difficult heavy equipment over long distances and in rough mountain terrain.

Both of these careers allowed Dan to be in the great outdoors, which he loved, until the diagnosis of A.L.S. (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) in 2010.

On November 26, 2012, Dan Keenan lost his battle with ALS. Dan’s family said he kept a positive, upbeat attitude and brought joy to those he knew. Dan was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather too. His family was so important to him, and it showed with all the love returned to Dan by his family as his physical abilities became more limited. With ALS, even eating and breathing become challenges. Dan’s care required the constant attention of his family and friends, along with special equipment to assist him.

A wheelchair-accessible van was purchased with a loan that requires full repayment. When the van is paid off, Dan’s dream can begin to be fulfilled—his dream of sharing that van with other Western Colorado ALS patients who need help with mobility. This selfless cause is a testament to Dan’s caring nature. The van will be maintained with the fund, honouring Dan Keenan and his determined desire to help others.

After a 30-year battle, the family of Daniel Keenan, a military hero, is granted a permanent memorial in his honour.

Daniel Keenan, who dedicated his life to assisting neighbourhood children, has won a 30-year battle for a permanent memorial in his honour.

Daniel Keenan, a veteran of Dunkirk, has finally had a memorial bench placed at Gibshill’s brand-new kid’s play area, which was formerly the location of a youth group he oversaw.

Dad-of-five   After experiencing his own double tragedy, Daniel felt motivated to assist young people in Gibby.

On the day his loving wife passed away, he lost his 12-year-old son, Danny.

From that point on, he devoted all of his time and resources to helping local kids by providing them with vacations, operating youth organisations, and keeping them off the streets.

His son Gerry, 55, who continues his father’s legacy by managing a local football team and still resides in Gibshill, said: “My dad battled so hard to help kids in Gibshill.”

We are quite pleased with his accomplishments.

“I’m happy that he was at last recognised in Gibshill.”

“Having a place nearby is beneficial because people still remember my dad and all of his good deeds,”

Since Daniel’s death from a heart attack in 1986 at the age of 62, his family has fought for a permanent memorial to him. They have even taken their battle to the UK Parliament.

In February 1968, Daniel lost his wife Susan, who had heart issues.

Tragically, Danny drowned in the River Clyde two years later, at the age of 12.

The couple also had four more children: Gerry, their youngest son, Roselynne; their oldest daughter, Susan, who was 58; and Jean, who died in 1994 at the age of 47.

Danny, a bus driver, dedicated his entire life to assisting kids when his son passed away. He even opened a youth club on Shankland Road.

For his work with youth, he was awarded a BEM.

33 years later, the Inverclyde Council intervened to erect a memorial bench in the park at the location of the formerly active club known as Danny’s Place in the neighbourhood.

Dan Keenan understood from a young age that he wanted to work as a funeral director like his father. Dan looked forward to the day when he could take over the business that his father had begun in 1923 after graduating from Christian Brothers Academy and the New York School of Embalming and Restorative Arts. Dan’s mother, Josephine, left the firm after his father died suddenly in 1942 at the age of 49. Dan completed his apprenticeship at the Abbey Funeral Home in New York City before serving in the Army for two years during the Korean War. 

Dan purchased the Norman E. Dascher Funeral Home in 1992, an old Albany institution dating back to 1893 and initially located on the corner of Arch and Broad Streets.

In 1957, Dan married Theresa “Joyce” (Dembski) Keenan. Joyce taught art at Albany High School until she retired in 1980. She rejoined Dan’s company after retirement, functioning as vice president-secretary and utilising her background and expertise in cosmetology, presentation, decorating, and design. Dan and Joyce raised two daughters: Marie P. Keenan, a funeral director who joined the family business in 1990 and succeeded her father as president when he retired in 2001, and Terri DeMaria, a Bethlehem School District primary school teacher who retired in 2017. 

Dan and Tedi DeMaria, as well as Liam and Aine Tobin, are their four grandchildren.

Dan is a member of the New York State Funeral Directors Association and its past president, as well as the National Funeral Directors Association, Normanside Country Club, and the Helderberg Lake Community Association. He is a communicant of St. James Church, where he has served as a trustee for more than 35 years, and a long-time supporter and former council president of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. 

Dan was awarded the Catherine McAuley Award by the St. Peter’s Hospital Foundation in 2004 in recognition of his vision, direction, and assistance in strengthening the mission of St. Peter’s Hospital and the work of the Religious Sisters of Mercy. Dan is a Notre Dame football lover as well as a St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan.
Dan and Joyce are both involved in neighbourhood activities, particularly the Delaware Avenue Neighbourhood Association and the Friends of Norman’s Kill Farm. Joyce received the Thomas J. Senchyna Neighbourhood Service Award from the Neighbourhood Resource Centre in 2002 in recognition of her bold vision and great leadership in improving the quality of life in the Delaware Area Neighbourhood.

Dan and Joyce are retired and spend their free time enjoying their grandchildren and their home at Helderberg Lake in East Berne.

Danny Keenan was born May 30, 1989, in San Francisco, California, and is now 6’2″.

He played football for Terra Nova High School in the position of “wide receiver” and became the team captain in 2007. Daniel Keenan came away with 25 catches and six touchdowns as a senior. 

Danny Keenan attended the College of San Mateo, catching five passes for 68 yards, including a long of 28.

During the summer of 2010, Daniel Keenan also saved a life while out with friends boating on the lake.

There was a loud thud, and when Danny Keenan realised what was going on, he just took off, diving off the back of the boat to where he had seen the man fall in.

“As soon as I dove in, I immediately opened my eyes and saw him,” Danny said. “He wasn’t moving at all.” He was completely unconscious and sinking pretty fast.

Daniel swam down about 12 feet and pulled the man back up to the surface, where others helped him get the still-unconscious victim back on the boat.

Daniel Keenan was majoring in physical therapy. Let’s hope he graduated and carried on saving lives.
