Keith Ripperton Obituary
Keith was born in Austin, TX, and grew up in Chapel Hill, NC. In 2003, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science Business Administration degree from Elon University in Elon, NC. He is survived by his partner, Hollie Key Nelson, and their children, Lilly Claire Ripperton, 2, and Noah James Ripperton, 3 months; his mother, Candy Holtzman, of Mebane, NC; his father, David Ripperton, and his stepmother, Gill Cassel, of San Francisco, CA; and his sister, Dana Ripperton, of Durham, NC.
Those he leaves behind will remember his kindness, his compassion, and a keen sense of humor that brightened the lives of everyone who knew him. He took great pleasure from improving the lives of those around him, and especially enjoyed time with his friends and family, whom he adored. He will be greatly missed.
A celebration of Keith's life will be held Sunday, April 15, 2018, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Beaver Dam House, 19600 Davidson Concord Rd., Davidson, NC 20836.
His family asks that instead of gifts and flowers, those wishing to contribute in his memory donate to his young children's college funds. Checks can be made out to USAA 529 Plan and mailed to Hollie Nelson, 19030 Cypress Garden Dr., Davidson, NC 28036.

There's only one person that knows the full extent of the deep heartbreak the family is going through--the God of all comfort, and we can't fully grasp how much he cares. John 3:16.
