Tributes for Keegan Rager:
It is with deep sorrow that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Keegan Rager of Payne, Ohio. A cherished member of the community and a bright light in the Class of 2025, Keegan’s life was tragically cut short, leaving his family, friends, and all who knew him in mourning.
Keegan was the beloved son of Rachel Rager, a valued and loved member of our local community. He was known for his kind heart, bright smile, and the joy he brought to those around him. Whether in the classroom, on the field, or simply among friends, Keegan had a way of lifting spirits and making people feel seen and supported.
In the wake of this unimaginable loss, the Class of 2025 is coming together in honor of Keegan’s memory. We have created a special memorial t-shirt to help raise funds for the Rager family, who are now facing the emotional and financial burden of funeral expenses. This fundraiser is a small way we can show our love, support, and solidarity during this incredibly difficult time.
Additionally, many local businesses and individuals — touched by the Rager family’s kindness over the years — have begun donating their tips and contributions to help ease the burden on Rachel and the rest of the family. The outpouring of support is a testament to the lives that Keegan and his family have touched.
If you feel moved to help, please consider purchasing a shirt, donating, or simply sharing the fundraiser with others. Every bit of kindness counts. If you have any questions or would like to support in other ways, please don’t hesitate to reach out.Keegan, you will be missed more than words can ever express. Your memory will live on in the hearts of your classmates, your teachers, your family, and your entire community. Rest in peace, Keegan. You are forever loved. #KeeganRager #ClassOf2025 #GoneButNeverForgotten.
