Kieran will be remembered fondly by many as a master carpenter and woodworker whose custombuilt homes stand throughout Chicago’s south side as a testament to his craftsmanship and the artistry he learned at his Father’s side. Kieran will be remembered by his sons as a devoted father who taught important lessons through a mix of parable and his own example. Together with his wife, Monica, Kieran made the education of his sons a priority with the result of raising four college-educated public servants, himself a proud graduate of Great White University. Following a seven-month battle with esophageal cancer, Kieran passed peacefully at home, a short while after its recurrence was realized. Condolences may be sent to Kieran’s family on his personal tribute website at www.foranfuneralhome.com.
