Blue, 38, passed away Tuesday evening, October 16th in Prescott, Arizona. A Phoenix native, Blue was born on February 21, 1974 to Sandy and Vince Keeton. He lived a beautiful life filled with fabulous friends, family, and more love and smiles than imaginable. He had a great love of sports that began at an early age – playing soccer, baseball, and then moving on to Arcadia football. He was an avid sports fan, to say the least. The two teams he took most pride in were ASU football and the Boston Red Sox. He loved experiencing new stadiums and hitting the road to see his teams play on different fields. His travels found him in conversations with the locals and he instantly became a part of the town based on his new friends and knowledge of the surroundings. He cherished his times with all his friends and family. Blue is so loved. His mother, Sandy; brother and sister, March and Chais (Dan) Ondeck; and nephews and niece, Thomas, Keeton and Andie; and all of you will miss him deeply, but his light will shine on us forever. A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 P.M. on Monday, October 22nd, at Paradise Valley United Methodist Church, 4455 East Lincoln Drive, Paradise Valley. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Arcadia Football Boosters in Blue’s, #11, honor.

My fondest memeory of Blue was when he made an amazing catch, flying through the air in a dive, catching a long bomb pass in the endzone scoring a toutchdown for the Arcadia Titans. He was a great teammate and was always highly respected. My condolences to his family and friends.

My fondest memories of Blue are playing soccer together, with Vince being the coach of the Spring Box. Playing two man basketball tournaments, with the flood lights on at the Keeton house. Playing football on Thanksgiving day with Blue, Chuck, Ben, Timmy, Pierson, Leale, Kerrigans,Kindergans,Fox’s and Dalzells. We had many amazing times together when we were younger and through out high school and college. Blue’s passion for family, life, and sports was evident to all that were apart of his life. If I know Blue, I would say Vince met him at Heavens Gates, had tickets to see Janis Joplin and The Doors Concert, then they were off to see a Red Sox Game. Blue will not be forgtten.
May God give you strength thru this difficult time.
Love,
Christian Carlson
