Kenneth Queppet

Kenneth (Ken) Queppet, age 64, of Lincoln University, leaves behind a legacy of warm generosity and compassion for his friends and family.  

He passed away on Sept. 18 after health complications.

Although Ken left all-too-soon, the people in his life have been changed by his loyalty and true friendship.

He was a dedicated father and pop-pop who always made sure that his kids and grandkids were taken care of. If you asked Ken what the number-one thing in his life that gave him joy, without hesitation he would say his two kids and the grandchildren.

His hobbies included fishing, playing guitar, learning history and listening to an array of music, especially lots of Bob Dylan and classic folk.  You could probably find Ken on any given evening or day meeting up with a friend for a meal and deep conversation or enjoying time listening to his brother’s band play music at a local restaurant.  

He was well liked and a hard worker in his occupation of being in the energy business.  Ken was a dedicated son and loyal brother. Friends describe him as  loyal, honest, funny, and forgiving. His family would describe him as extremely selfless, a best friend, and loving. Ken’s generous spirit and listening ear will be missed by many.

Ken is survived by one son, Michael A. Queppet and his wife Vasilisa of Orlando, Fla.; one daughter, Caitlin E. Beiler and her husband Colburn of Reading, Pa.; three brothers, Robert  Queppet of West Grove, David Queppet of Philadelphia, and Timothy Queppet of West Grove; two sisters, Rebecca Queppet of York, Pa. and Mary St. George of Shillington, Pa.;  two grandchildren, and his former wife, Sylvia Queppet.

You are invited to visit with Ken’s family and friends from 10:00 to 11:30 on Wednesday morning, Sept. 28 at the Avon Grove Church of the Nazarene, 240 State Road in West Grove. 

His funeral service will follow at 11:30 a.m. 

Burial will be in the New London Presbyterian Church Cemetery, 1986 Newark Road (Route 896), in New London.
