Lou McKeever was a cardiologist at a time when cardiology was changing people’s lives through innovative procedures. He was one of the brightest and he loved his patients - many of whom knew Lou for almost 30 years.

 

Anyone who knew him, would stay that when Lou interacted with his patients, they would have thought that they were the only person in the world for him - despite having to deal with multiple cases at the same time.

 

At age 48, he was diagnosed of stage four colon rectal cancer. He went through surgery and periods of recovery, and when possible, he never stopped practicing. He finally retired at age 65 and about two years later he developed dementia.

 

For six years he battled through with grace until he passed away.

 

Kathy Mckeever, Lou’s wife, tells us his story.
