Carl Keppler

In loving memory of Carl Keppler, who passed away on October 18, 2026, at the age of 55. Carl's life began on November 11, 1970, in the vibrant city of St. Louis, Missouri. Born to Maria and Carl Keppler, his early days were filled with the love and warmth of his devoted parents. Carl was a man with a heart as vast as the waters he loved to fish. His passion for fishing was more than just a hobby—it was an integral part of his life, a tradition he eagerly shared with his family. Known for his beloved fishing hat, Carl took great joy in gifting similar hats to family and friends, creating lasting memories with every shared adventure by the water. He was a devoted father to his surviving children, Deborah Jones, Katie Keppler, and Carl Keppler Jr., and a cherished grandfather to four delightful grandchildren. Carl's love for his family was evident in every moment he spent with them, from quiet days at the fishing hole to joyous family gatherings. Carl was predeceased by his two beloved daughters, Kayla and Krista Keppler, and his father, Carl Keppler Sr. The legacy of his love endures in the hearts of those he leaves behind, including his cherished mother, Maria Keppler, who survives him. As he joins his departed loved ones, Carl leaves behind a legacy of kindness, humor, and a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures. His infectious laughter and warm presence will be dearly missed by all who knew him. In accordance with his family's wishes, a private funeral ceremony will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly suggests donations be made to a charity of your choice, honoring Carl's generous spirit and his desire to help others. Carl Keppler's memory will forever be a beacon of love and strength for his family and friends. May his soul find peace, and may his family find comfort in the cherished memories of a life well-lived.
