Keane, of the Monaca area, went to Central Valley High School in Center Township, according to Zachary Smith, a local sports podcaster who attended school with Keane.<\/p>\n

I’m heartbroken right now. Second son and brother this family has lost. I graduated high school with Dalton. Their house was the go-to bonfire house. RIP my brother. https:\/\/t.co\/TCC6oLmjnb<\/p>\n

Smith said he became friends with Keane after Monaca and Center merged high schools to become Central Valley in 2009. He said Keane helped him with the transition, and that the Keane family became the \u201cgo-to spot\u201d for bonfires during the fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cDalton was one of those guys who just fit in with any crowd,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI didn’t know a single person who had any issues with Dalton.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he last saw Keane a few months ago outside a Walmart store. Smith described Keane as a hard worker and said he embraced his new role as a father.<\/p>\n

According to an obituary from Beaver’s Noll Funeral Home, Dalton Keane’s older brother Devin Michael Keane, 31, died unexpectedly in December.<\/p>\n

Smith said that Dalton Keane will be remembered as a son, a brother, an uncle, a father and a friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s how I’ll remember Dalton,\u201d he said. \u201cThat’s how everyone who knew him will remember Dalton.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
