Eugene Joseph McKeiver Obituary

Obituary of Eugene Joseph McKeiver McKEIVER, Eugene “Gene” Joseph - Peacefully, with family members by his side, at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre, on Monday, January 2, 2017, in his 78th year. A life-long resident of Warsaw, Gene was the son of the late Jimmy McKeiver and Margaret (Leahy-d), loving brother of George (Mary), Mary Connolly (William-d), Camilla Hickson (Jim), Carl (Mary, and Mary Theresa Crowley-d), John (d), Paul (d) and brother-in-law of Elizabeth Eaton and Brian Eaton. Gene shared 38 wonderful years with his beloved wife and soul-mate, Sharon (Eaton) who shared his love of farming. After retiring from a 30+ year career as exceptional grounds-keeper at Trent University, Gene turned his attention, full-time, to the successful running of their farm in Warsaw. He was meticulous in his ploughing, haying, combining, etc. and was known to have the happiest farm animals and best prime hay in the county. Gene will be fondly remembered by his many nieces, nephews, other relatives and an abundance of friends. A special thank you is extended to the PRHC staff who went above and beyond in taking care of Gene. We were blessed to have the doctors and nurses in Palliative Care make Gene so comfortable during his final days. A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church (300 County Road 8, Douro-Dummer) on Friday, January 13, 2017 at 11:30 AM. Visitation with, and condolences to the family will be welcomed at the church prior to the service from 10:00 - 11:30 AM.
