Christopher Keeley (2 Oct 1949 - 29 Jun 2021)

Chris,
You were one of the nicest person I have ever worked for, you didn’t deserve to suffer like this, nor your family.
You will never be forgotten,
Rest in peace.
All our thoughts and condolences to your family.
Dominique & Ken

Chris, so many great memories I wouldn’t know where to start. You brought so much joy and laughter to many occasions. You were always at hand when needed. You’re going to be hugely missed but never forgotten. Thank you for being you. Andrew, Oliver and Charlotte

Good bye old friend we laughed, cried and looked after each other from when we met at college in 1969,bought houses next door to each other both unaware we would be neighbours. We worked together, I was your best man,then life got in the way,but we still kept in touch seeing each other on rare occasions. Then out of the blue you move a few streets away, but it was like we had never been apart. Sadly it was all too short. You was always me my best friend and l will never forget that beaming smile. Sleep well

So glad you are no longer suffering. Sending our thoughts to family and friends x

Chris was a true gent and one of a kind. RIP big man!

Top man

In memory of Chris Keeley.

Really saddened to hear about Chris’s passing. Chris was a workaholic, but had three loves – West Ham, Cheltenham, and Allison, which he would talk about all the time. There are many fond memories of Chris while he was in the US – who can forget the many times he had to “walk the straight line” after late nights at the pub! He will be missed – RIP!
Harry and family

Chris - an absolute gentleman and true friend. I’ll miss the banter and the chats. Some great memories of fun and mischief in Cork & London. Thinking of you Allison & family - he will be missed dearly x

In memory of 'Grandad Chris' and with thoughts for Auntie Allison, Uncle Ben, Ethan and Annie after such a difficult year. Love always, Team Farmborough xxx

RIP Chris, in joy your release from this awful illness Pete

Chris, just my best friend for 30 plus years, I will miss you greatly. Your fabulous support, happy and positive outlook in all things you did, we had great and memorable times! Caroline, Andrew, liz and I will miss you so much at our family events always the star attraction. You were part of the family and will remain in our thoughts. Sleep well my friend.

In honour of Chris - such a wonderful, kind & generous man. Thinking of Al, Ben and all the family. Lots of love from the Gallaghers...and COYI x

Words can’t describe how I feel about the untimely passing of a true gent. Chris was more than a friend, he was brother. Always there, never judging (except on Brexit!!). So glad we did the tours. From
Munster in the Heineken cup to the HK 7s, you were already pick 1. See you some day Christy K
Alison 🙏

Brexit

Having worked with Chris for many many years we had some laughs. Work was a passion of his and he was your actual workaholic and would sometimes drive me nuts!!
Another “slight interest “ of his was of course football. Myself being Scottish, I used to cringe when I heard the dreaded ‘66’ being mentioned and how England won the World Cup etc. I will be forever grateful to Chris for setting the record straight with him explaining that it was actually “West Ham” that won it.
When travelling, Chris constantly spoke of his family and how he was looking forward to seeing them. He was just a lovely person.
Everyone who knew Chris will sadly miss him. CK Rest In Peace.

So sad to have heard the news. Chris was loved by everyone he met. Such a fun, kind and lovely man! Just so good and a friend to everyone. Caring and funny and such a dote. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam (may he rest in peace) Much missed by his friends in Cork. Heartbroken.

With fondest memories of my fellow UKES Director & truly trusted friend. Akin to the words of our country’s greatest ever leader - “never in the field of human conflict has one man done more to show support for a team playing in claret & blue. He would fight for them on the pitches, he would fight for them on the terraces, he would fight for them up and down the land, but he would never, never ever surrender the ideology that it was the West Ham Utd academy that won the 1966 World Cup.” His footy judgement was always clouded by too many bubbles flying high in the sky. Farewell my dear friend, keep dreaming and may you RIP alongside your pretty little bubbles.

Chris, we’re all heartbroken at your premature demise.
I’ll always remember you as one of life’s truly decent human beings.
The laughs and good times we’ve enjoyed over the years we always be there . As you will be.
Sadly, sadly missed.
COYI ⚒

All our love Julie, Kevin and Megs - hope this helps other xx

Dearest Chris

Megan and I will always remember your funny kind generous self. You absolutely loved your family and would do anything for anyone! We are sad for ourselves and your loved ones but glad your body is now at rest, what an absolutely terrible disease. Bless you for over the years trying to convert Megan and I into football even taking us to a match or 2 🙈 but we all loved going to the races 😊 although your tips weren’t always the best! 😜 We love you lots and would give anything to hug you one last time, our hearts are thinking of you Allison and family xx

Chris was a good colleague to work with and we travelled overseas together on many occasions. I shall always remember him for those times we spent in far off countries.
