Michael “Mickey” Alvin Kemper, age 77, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 21, 2020.

He attended Community Family Church with his loved ones. Mickey was also a 32^nd degree Master Mason.

Mr. Kemper enjoyed many things: his farm and working the fields with his tractor.  He especially loved motorcycles.  Most of all, though, he loved being a devoted husband, a wonderful father, and a doting grandfather.
