Tommy Kempf

Tommy graduated from Keene High School in 2014, and was a member of the Blackbird's Tennis team. Prior to that he attended Keene Middle School, Jonathan Daniel's Elementary School, and was also homeschooled. Tommy worked many different jobs during his life, but he most enjoyed working as a lift operator for Crotched Mountain Ski Resort in Bennington, NH and also at Stratton Ski Resort in Vermont.

Tommy was a gentle and loving soul. His loss is mourned by his family and many friends who remember his exuberant personality (Ahoy!!) and how he could light up a room with his presence. These were his most precious gifts- he was kind, did not judge and freely expressed his love for others. Tommy is survived by his mother Lynn, his brothers Zachary and Bruce, his father and step-mother John and Leisha Kempf, and "Nana" Lana Niegocki. He was and is loved beyond measure, and his memory will be treasured forever. He was a beautiful boy.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm at Monadnock View Cemetery, Park Ave, Keene, NH on Friday, October 11th Friday. A celebration of Tommy's life will follow from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Nazarene Church, 55 Maple Ave, Keene, NH.
