Mr. John E. Killeen Sr.

He was the youngest son of the late Eugene T. Killeen Sr. and Maxine Sandrock Killeen of New Orleans. Brother of the late Michael A. Killeen and father of the late John Edward Killeen Jr., the heart of his life.

Survived by his beloved wife, Dale Datusch Killeen, brother’s Patrick H. Killeen of Lacombe, Louisiana, Eugene T. Killeen Jr. of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, sisters Laurina Killeen Geraci of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Mary L. Killeen of New Orleans, stepdaughters Courtney and Maegan Arena, step granddaughter Brielle Ponce and a host of nieces, nephews, brother–in-laws and sister-in-laws.

John felt so blessed to find love again with his adored wife Dale and their four Yorkies. He loved the life that he and his wife shared together, in the home he proudly built. John was always a fan of the LSU Tigers and the New Orleans Saints. He enjoyed hosting many holiday and game day parties for family and friends. He was a wonderful friend and would help anyone in need. He was referred to by many who knew him as a “Prince of a Man”. He will be greatly missed.

The family would like to thank Lakeside Hospice with special thanks to his nurses Ann Francis and Maria Schlumbrecht.
