David Keenan

Saddened to hear of Dave's passing- he was a gentleman and always so kind to people. Sincere condolences to his family, and all who knew and loved him.

Connie, we are still in shock with the sad news about Dave. We sat with the kids and spoke about all the great memories and stories, all of which had Dave at the epicentre!

Our kids grew up with Dave singing songs to them (and their Mom & Dad), telling jokes and just generally being great fun. We will all miss him, but have such fond memories to make sure he isn't forgotten.

May he rest in peace. All our prayers and love - Marie, Colin, John, Amelie & Alex

Dear Connie and Family, we are so so sad to hear of Dave's passing. What an amazing man he was and was blessed with great humour, fun and a zest for life. May these memories of a great man give you comfort in these difficult days. Thinking of you at this time. May Dave Rest in Peace

Dear Connie and Dave’s much loved girls and family, belated sympathy on Dave’s passing.
My thoughts are with you all, Dave was such a larger than life person, we always had so many laughs.
I am so sorry for your loss. May Dave rest in peace.

Connie our deepest sympathies on the loss of your wonderful husband David. May you find strength in the many fun filled memories you shared and the love that will always remain. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Davids girls during this difficult time."

Deepest sympathy to Connie and all the family on the passing of David. May He Rest in Peace.

We are deeply sorry for your loss. David (Dave to his fellow trustees) was a valued member of the Board. He was an active contributor, always friendly and collegiate. This led to high quality robust decisions for the 15,000+ scheme members. We will miss his wisdom, style and friendship. Please accept our condolences during this challenging time.

Connie and girls, I arrived home from the USA last night to meet a friend who told us about Dave’s passing. Valerie and I are shocked. While we hadn’t meet in a few years his influence and personality never left us. He was one of a kind, a great friend and mentor to me and one of the most engaging and intelligent Human Resource professionals you could work with. He lived life to the full and we enjoyed many a day together in EBS and beyond. When I left the society our families continued our friendship and have yet to meet a more loving, caring and generous person. We are heartbroken Connie - Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dhilis.

My sincere condolences to the Keenan Family and very sad to hear (belated) the news of Dave passing. I have very fun memories of Dave, he was a great character and lived life to the full. RIP Dave, your laughs will be missed in Carton 😢

So sorry to hear about Dave’s passing. He was larger than life and made a huge impression during his time in AIB. My thoughts and condolences are with Connie and family. Elaine

Really sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. He was a great character and contributed hugely to HR in Ireland with his professional approach and sense of fun. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Our sincere sympathy to all the family. Thinking of ye all at this sad time. May David rest in peace.

What a wonderful man to have as a friend, for over 20 years. Glad I got to spend so much time with him in the last few weeks, and his last few days. We laughed together, cried together and then laughed again. More tears today though.

Travelled all over the world with him and it was never dull. Worst mistake I ever made on a trip, was to tell him I’d pick up the food at the grocery store, and he should get the vino. Big mistake !!

If there was a more generous, thoughtful guy around, I’m not sure I’ve met them. He helped oh so many people.

He was a CHARACTER, and a constant source of energy.

He had an enormous positive affect on my life and that of my family. We will all miss him.

Dave was given 3 years to live about 7 years ago, and we celebrated each anniversary in style. Laughing of course.

We will never forget him, or the laughs we shared with him. He will always be in our thoughts.

Rest in peace Dave. ADIOS BABY, and keep SMILING !! 😘

Sad news to hear of Dave's passing. May he rest in peace. My condolences to Dave's family at this sad time.

Oh what a very kind and thoughtful man. I’m so sorry to hear this. Dave was held in very high regard and I am so grateful to have known him during my time at AIB. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest in peace Dave. Liah

Very sorry to hear of Dave’s untimely passing and sincere condolences to Connie, the girls and the entire Keenan family.
Echoing all the other comments but have to add his sense of humour and ‘craic’ and his message of living life to the full as his outstanding traits of which there were so many .
RIP Dave.

Connie and family, So so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing…. How shocking! He reminds me of ‘ old school’ EBS days and they were very happy days within EBS. He always had a word for everyone and had a great sense of fun and banter! He’ll b so missed by u all. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear this news - Dave was so friendly and always smiling. A real gent! Sincere condolences to all the family.

Our deepest, heartfelt sympathy to Connie, Anita and all who mourn David.

Very sorry to hear of Dave's untimely passing. I'll remember him for all the good he did for the people working for and with him during his time at EBS. He was a genuine people person who injected a sense of fun as well as seriousness into the workplace. May he rest in peace and sincere condolences to his family at this sad time.

I was heartbroken to hear of Dave’s passing. My deepest sympathies to Connie, his four daughters and all of his wider family. I was so privileged to work with Dave on both the union and HR side of the table, and have so many happy memories of all the EBS glory years, where he was such a central figure in EBS being a real family. He was a true friend and mentor to me, and I learnt so much from him. I also have Dave to thank for persuading me to visit Las Vegas, he was right, I loved it! Thanks for all the good times Dave.

I was so sorry to hear of Dave’s untimely death. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he was an exuberant one-off. Once encountered never forgotten. Thoughts with Connie and Dave’s broader family at this difficult time.

Ted McGovern

Sincere condolences to Lisa, Aoife and family. Thinking of you at this hard time.

Shocked and saddened to hear the news of Dave’s passing over the weekend via members of the “EBS Family” (one which we never really leave). Dave played a key role in that same EBS Family by setting an example of professionalism all the while making working in EBS fun and enjoyable. RIP Dave, I am certain your impact on us will last forever.

Sincere sympathies to Connie, his girls and the extended Keenan family. Dave was an outstanding colleague and an even greater friend. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
