Zachary (Zach) Keohan, 37, of North Plymouth passed away suddenly of an apparent cardiac event at his home on Tuesday, June 10.
He was the beloved son of Francis (Frank) and Joyce (Balboni) Keohan of Kingston, devoted and loyal brother of Matthew Keohan of Kingston and Andrew (and his wife, Jessica) Keohan of Easton.
Zach was predeceased by his grandfather Leon Balboni and his grandparents, Francis and Margaret Keohan.
Zach is also survived by his grandmother, Nancy Balboni of Kingston, loving aunts and uncles, Mary (Keohan) and Alan Ganz of Hampton Falls, NH; Carol and Bob Price of Kingston; Joe and Maura Balboni of Marshfield; and John and Jennifer Balboni of Milton. He will be deeply missed by his cousins Eric and Lauren Price, Jack and Jimmy, Emily and Christopher Balboni. Zach also leaves behind his cherished nephew, Noah Keohan of Easton.
Zach grew up in Kingston, attended Kingston Elementary, and in 2005 graduated from Sacred Heart High School, where he played varsity baseball. He received a degree in management from Curry College in 2009. He began his professional career at Lowes’ Companies and had worked as a loss prevention/safety manager, and most recently a retail manager at the Kingston location.
Zach was always smiling. He leaves so many close friends and colleagues. You all know who you are. He invested his whole heart in his family and friends and was the happiest when he was in the midst of them. You could always count on Zach to give a helping hand. Zach was also a man of great faith, and we believe we will see each other again.
He will be remembered too for his annual Fourth of July cookouts at his home in Plymouth, a place he truly loved and had tremendous pride in. He was always ready for an adventure, enjoyed traveling around the country, history, golf, skiing, the waterfront, the bike paths, the Cape and Craigville Beach. And he loved his dog, Isabelle.
Those who truly knew Zach will remember his warmth, humor, generosity, integrity, loyalty, and love for life. Zach was an avid Boston sports fan in good times and in bad. He loved the Red Sox. Music was a large part of Zach’s life. He especially loved hard rock and heavy metal. He will always live on in our hearts and memories.
There will be a visitation Friday, June 20, at the Cartmell-Davis Funeral Home, 373 Court St., Plymouth, from 4 to 7 p.m. A Mass of the Resurrection will be held on Saturday June 21, at St Joseph Parish, 272 Main St., Kingston, followed by burial at St Joseph Cemetery, 130 Elm St., Kingston.
