Peter Dave McKean

Peter D. McKean, age 64, passed away at North Oaks Medical Center, in Hammond, La on Friday, November 6, 2026. By trade he was a hard working pipe fitter and welder for many years. In his spare time, he enjoyed living on the edge, whether it was hunting or fishing, trapping critters in the woods or in the swamp. Pete loved to be outside in the wilderness, on his boat, or riding the windy road on his Harley Davidson soaking in all of God's country. He was a dedicated parishioner at St. Joseph Catholic Church, where he never missed a mass. Pete was a wonder brother and friend to all who knew him..

He is survived by his brothers, Oley "Mac" McKean IV, Wilkin "Wilk" McKean (Sharon), and George McKean (Julie); his longtime partner, Nancy Harrison; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Oley III and Georgette McKean; and siblings, Susan McKean Smith and Fred McKean.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, November 28th, 2026, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Ponchatoula. Visitation will be held from 11:30 a.m. until the Memorial Mass at 1:30 p.m. A private burial will take place at a later date in Parklawn Cemetery.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Harry McKneely & Son Funeral Home.
