In Memory of Pat Keefe - Choctaw Weight Room Fund

Patrick believed the foundation for his work ethic, self-discipline, positive mindset and resiliency was formed in the Choctaw High School weight room. He forged life-long personal relationships with his coaches and teammates training together in that weight room.

Both female and male students and all athletic teams use the weight room.

Patrick wanted gifts honoring his life to sustain the Choctaw weight room. He wanted weight room iron, bricks and mortar that would last and continue to serve others rather than flowers that would fade and die.

Patrick requests that instead of flowers, that any gifts honoring his life be in the form of donations, 100 percent of which would be used for equipment, maintenance and enhancement of the Choctaw weight room.

Patrick entrusted his family and John Watts to carry out this wish. John Watts has set up an account specifically for the funds raised in this effort.
