How Shane Keough paid tribute to his sister’s late son, McCoy
Shane and his wife, Francheska Perez Keough, welcomed McKay in late 2023, about a year after tying the knot. The OC dad named his little girl in honor of Kara’s late son, McCoy, who died just six days after his birth.

“On April 6th (2020) our son McCoy Casey Bosworth was born at 3:10am. Weighing in at 11 pounds and 4 ounces and spanning 21 inches, McCoy surprised us all with his size and strength (and overall perfection),” Kara wrote. “During the course of his birth, he experienced shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord. He joined our Heavenly Father and will live forever in the hearts of his loving parents, his adoring sister, and those that received his life-saving gifts.”
Kara confirmed that she and her husband, Kyle Bosworth, agreed to donate McCoy’s organs. The couple also shares a daughter, Decker Kate, and a son, Vaughn.
Jeana Keough reflects on the death of her ex-husband, Matt Keough
As shown on Instagram, Jeana, Shane, and Kara reunited this year to celebrate Vaughn’s 4th birthday. The family was also joined by Jeana’s youngest son, Colton Keough.
Jeana shared her children with former MLB player Matt Keough, whom she officially divorced in 2019. A year after the divorce was finalized, Kara announced her father had died from a pulmonary embolism. Jeana spoke about the tragedy in an interview with Hollywood Life, saying Matt’s death came as a complete shock because he was “so young and pretty reasonably healthy.”
She told the outlet the loss hit especially hard, as the family was still reeling from McCoy’s death.
“You know what to lose a grandchild and an ex-husband in less than three weeks,” Jeana admitted before referencing her three children. “It’s been rough. They’re all taking it badly.”
