GRAND ISLE, VT — Andrew Scott Keene, 61, passed away on January 30,

2026, at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington.

Andrew was born on August 2, 1964, in Burlington, Vermont, the son of

John J. Keene and Roselyn Alice (Forrend) Keene. He graduated from

Essex High School in 1984 and proudly enlisted in the United States

Army shortly after graduation.

Throughout his life, Andy worked hard in a variety of roles, including

as a commercial pipe installer, store clerk, and custodian. He never

shied away from work and carried a strong sense of independence and

grit.

Andy had a personality that filled a room. His laugh was

unmistakable—loud, genuine, and able to carry across any space. If you

heard it, you knew Andy was nearby, laughing about something and

enjoying the moment. He loved camping, taking road trips, and spending

hours watching and listening to his favorite comedians, finding joy in

humor and simple pleasures.

Above all else, Andy loved his daughter, Victoria Keene, whom he

thought the world of. She was the pride of his life and his greatest

joy.

Andrew was predeceased by his parents, John and Roselyn Keene.

He is survived by his beloved daughter, Victoria Keene, along with

friends and family who will miss his laugh, his stories, and the

presence he brought wherever he went.

Andy's services will be held at a later date.

Andy will be remembered for his big heart, his booming laugh, and the

way he found humor even on life's hardest days.
