KENNETH V. LEEPER Jr. M.D.

Kenny, I remember the fun times we had growing up in Xenia, Oh. We never stopped being best friends.

Dr. Leeper you are sorely missed. Your patient forever.

I am so saddened to just learn of Dr. Keeper´s passing several years ago. I was one of his fellows at UT Memphis. He had such a positive impact on me during my training and is probably the reason I chose Pulmonary/Critical Care as my career path. He was, as many have stated, a wonderfully talented and caring clinician and excellent teacher. Some of my fondest memories of him, though, are hearing him laugh and tell stories during social outings and conferences. He was always such a joy to be...

Kenneth Leeper (I was privileged to call him Kenny) was a great gentleman, physician, teacher, researcher and athlete. He had it all. His enthusiasm was boundless. He was fun to work with, and a type A+ personality.

Ken was taught by his father to produce only high quality work. When in high school, his father asked him to build a brick wall. When finished, his father told him it was not good enough, and knocked it down. Ken had to work all night to build it properly.

Dr. Leeper was one of a kind! An awesome doctor that gave his patients and colleagues the best of him ......a legacy that will be cherished forever! Miss you Dr.!!

I had the privilege to work for Dr. Leeper in the Pulmonary Department at the University of Tennessee. I was one of his Secretaries, Dr. Leeper was a very kind, warm-hearted person, his Intelligence was beyond superb! He always kept us smiling and believing in ourselves! We loved him very much, and it saddens me to hear of his passing, am late learning about it. I wish his wife and family the best, he always talked about his family. Dr. Leeper, RIP

Dr. Leeper was such a GREAT physician, he made you feel so comfortable with him not only as your physician but as he was a part of our family. He took such great care of my 74 year old mother when he diagnosed her with lung cancer. He often came and sat with her/us in her hospital room just to chit chat and sometimes eat lunch with us. I have been in the medical field for over 33 years, worked with numerous physicians (can't even begin to count) but I have never in my entire life met a...
