Jason Andrew McKeever

It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jason Andrew McKeever, who left us far too soon on April 14, 2025, at the age of 38. He was a cherished son, a devoted father, a loving partner, a loyal sibling, and a treasured friend to many.

Jason had a light that could fill a room—funny, kind, compassionate, and always ready with a smile or a joke to lift someone’s spirits. He had an incredible way of making people feel seen, valued, and loved. Whether it was a spontaneous adventure, a late-night talk, or just a shared laugh over a beer, Jason gave the gift of genuine connection to everyone lucky enough to know him.

He was a dedicated parent who adored his children with all his heart, and a rock to his family, even when he carried unseen burdens. He loved deeply, laughed fully, and gave selflessly.

We remember Jason not only for the joy and warmth he brought into our lives but also with compassion for the pain he carried. His passing is a profound reminder of the importance of checking in, speaking openly, and holding each other close.

Though his life ended in heartbreak, it will never be defined by that. It will be defined by love. By the hugs, the memories, the music, the inside jokes, and the legacy of kindness he leaves behind.

Jason is survived by his parents James and Elizabeth McKeever, his brother Jeff (Sheri), his sister Julie, his sister Jaymi (Cody), his nieces and nephews - Chelsey (Justin), Joseph (Tianna), Jadyn (Jason), Colbey, Cash, Chase, his significant other Caitlin, his daughter Cailee, unborn son and countless others who loved him deeply.

Services for Jason will be held on Wednesday, April 23, at 1:00pm at David-Donehower Funeral Home in Detroit Lakes. There will be a one-hour visitation an hour prior to services with a luncheon to follow.
