Keith George Hannan, 88, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2024, in Tyler, Texas, surrounded by his loving family.

He was the son of Gladys (Johnston) and Thomas Hannan. He was accomplished in multiple sports and graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 1953. He served in the U.S. Army for two years as a medic stationed in Germany then attended college and played golf for the University of Southern Mississippi. He transferred to California to pursue his career and graduated from San Jose State College with a BA degree in business.

Keith was married to Margaret (Peggy) Keene in 1962 and lived in San Jose where he gleaned knowledge as a PGA Apprentice at several local golf courses, eventually moving back to his origins as the head professional at Mason City Country Club in Iowa. In 1983 he resigned to build and establish The North Iowa Golf Center, furthering his reputation throughout the Midwest as an accomplished instructor and custom club builder, and in 1991 he earned the honorable title of PGA Master Professional for excellence in golf instruction. He retired to Beaufort, South Carolina in 1996 where he continued to enjoy golf, and serve actively at St. Helena’s Episcopal Church.
