Keith T. Hemperly, 70, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. He was the husband of Jacquelyn L. (Hetherington) Hemperly. Born in Lebanon on December 31, 1953, Keith was a son of Lucille Grace (Laudermilch) Hemperly and the late Dale Lee Hemperly.

Keith lived a life defined by strength, kindness, and selflessness. Whether he was hunting in the woods, fixing what was broken, or building something new, Keith's approach was one of quiet determination. Working as an excavator most of his life, there wasn't a challenge he wouldn't tackle or a problem he couldn't solve. Although Keith thrived in all things rugged and manly, he made sure that his strength was balanced with a tender side that he reserved for his family. His wife, Jacquelyn, was the love of his life, his daughter, Rochelle, was his pride and joy and he was their greatest protector, biggest cheerleader, and best friend. Surrounded by love in his final moments, Keith left this world knowing how chrished he was, with his wife of 37 years holding one hand, and his daughter holding the other.

In addition to his wife and daughter, he is survived by three siblings - Kerry, Kim, and Craig, and several nieces.

Keith's funeral services will be held privately. Thompson Funeral Home, Inc. has been entrusted with arrangements. Please share your memories with the family at our online guest book at thompsonfuneralhomelebanon.com
