Keenan considers this “the best move ever made.” Maynard graduated in the class of 1982 at Mason County Central High School in Scottville, where he was a member of the wrestling team his father also left in 1982. A few years later, she persuaded Keenan to live with his father in Michigan. When Keenan was 11, his mother suffered a paralyzing cerebral aneurysm, which later would serve as the inspiration for many of his creative works. His mother remarried, bringing Keenan into an “intolerant and unworldly household,” where his intelligence and creative expression would be stifled. When his parents divorced in 1968, his father, a high school wrestling coach, moved to Scottville, Michigan and Keenan would only see him about once a year for the next 12 years. James Keenan was born into a Baptist family in Ravenna, Ohio, on April 17, 1964, the only child of Judith Marie (Gridley) and Michael Loren Keenan.
