He is preceded in death by his father, Leonard Keng Sr.; his mother, Geraldine Keng; his sister, Dorothy Arlean Reed; and his nephews, Darrel Adams and Chad Keng.
Tommy is survived by his loving wife, Shirley Keng; his son, Tom Keng Jr., and daughter-in-law, Lorrie Keng; his son, Craig Keng; his grandchildren, Chris Keng and wife Candy, Codi Keng, and Devan Keng; and his great-grandchildren, Caleb Keng and Emery Keng. His brother Ray and wife Doral Deen Keng. Sister Derwanna and husband Dan and numerous nieces and nephews.
A very special thanks is extended to Little Tom for running the family business; Tommy couldn't have done it without you. Thanks also to Craig for all of your time and help.
Thomas E Keng Sr. will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to his family and his cherished farm, leaving behind a legacy of love and hard work.
