John F. "Chub" Krempasky, 68, a longtime resident of Whitehall, Pennsylvania, passed away at home on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born on August 15, 1956, in Allentown, he was the son of the late John S. and Julia (Barna) Krempasky. He was the devoted husband of Denise (DeLong) Krempasky for 38 years until her passing in 2015.

Chub attended Whitehall High School and began working at the age of 16, holding various jobs before finding his place at LVR, Inc., where he was employed for 35 years. He had a passion for riding his Harley, especially enjoying long rides with Denise. Known for his kindness and friendly nature, Chub never met a stranger and was always ready to lend a helping hand.

He is survived by his children: Keith A. Warmkessel Jr. and wife Stacey of Slatington; Jeneanne Kay, wife of Kevin Gombert of Slatington; John M. Krempasky of Summit Hill; and Jason M. Krempasky and wife Brandy of Whitehall. He is also survived by his siblings: Joan, wife of Greg Glover of Whitehall; Jayne, wife of William Bonnell of Black Creek, Wisconsin; and Jim, husband of Dan Gray of Valrico, Florida. Chub was a proud grandfather to five grandchildren: Keith A. III, Amanda, Kayla, Jayden, and Caleb. He also leaves behind several nieces, nephews, cousins, Denise's brother and sisters with their spouses, as well as many dear friends and co-workers.

Family and friends are invited to gather on Friday, March 14, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Gilbert Funeral Home, 444 Pershing Boulevard, Whitehall, PA 18052.
