Dennis was preceded in death by his parents, William Charles and Anna Lois, and brothers Patrick Keown, John Keown and Timothy Keown.

Survivors include his brothers, William “Joe” Keown and his wife, Ruth Ann, James “Bill” Keown and his wife, Vickie; his sisters, Mary Gerteisen and her husband, Jordan; and Linda Canary; his son, Nicholas (Nick) Lee Keown and his wife, Lyndsay; grandchildren, Maddox and Milo; aunt, Alma Reinitz; several nieces and nephews.
