Anthony F. Killeen passed away Thursday, April 3^rd, 2025 at the age of 48. Tony was preceded in death by his father, George Killeen Jr; his paternal grandparents George Sr and Helen Killeen; and maternal grandparents Mario and Catherine Rebesco. He is survived by beloved wife Jennie (nee Mahoney) of 18 years; loving father of Kaden and Kameron; devoted son of Marianne Killeen (nee Rebesco); cherished brother of Patrick (Kris), Mike (Lauren), and Tim (Sarah) Killeen; loved son-in-law of Chris Mahoney; dear brother-in-law of Brian (Melissa) Mahoney and Eddie (Kelsey) Mahoney; adored uncle of Josh, Jake, Jackson, Jordan, Chase, Cole, Cooper, Mayah, Marianah, Finn, and Maizie; treasured nephew of Chuck (Marguerite) Rebesco, Vicki Rebesco, Cathy (Rich) Kallimanes, Joe (Marsha) Rebesco, and Bridget (Joe) Rubinas; and fond cousin of Jim, Ariana, Kaitlin, Gina, Chris, Lynn, Alex, Maria, Dominic, Francesca, Joey, Joe, Theresa, and Anthony.

Tony attended Mt. Carmel High School, Chicago, IL and was a standout athlete earning accolades for both football and baseball.  He continued his baseball career at MacMurray College, Jacksonville, IL where he was a four-year starter at second base, and at the time of graduation was one of the all-time hits leaders in all of D-3 baseball, and one of the fastest running a 3.9 to first base. He finished his career with 252 hits, .406 batting average, scored 176 runs, and stole 125 bases. He was proud to be a part of the conference all-decade team of the 1990s and is honored in the MacMurray Baseball Hall of Fame. Upon college graduation he completed his police academy training and began the career of his dreams as a police officer for the Scottsdale, AZ Police Department.  During his brave and honorable service, he suffered a career-ending injury. Tony has worked throughout the years in security management.

Tony enjoyed travel and cruising with Jennie and the boys, coaching his sons’ teams, and watching and playing sports with his family and friends. Like many in his family, Tony was an avid Chicago Cubs fan; however, his favorite team was any team Kaden or Kameron played on.  He was and will always be their biggest fan.   

While Tony had many accomplishments, he will be remembered most as a fun, sweet, loving husband, dad, son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin, and friend. The void all those who love him feel in his absence will never be filled, and we can only find peace in the love that will forever endure.
