Keith Henggeler, 48 of Schuyler, went to meet Jesus on 9/6/22. He was surrounded by his
children, wife, sisters, and father as he fought so hard to overcome the cancer right until the end, but his body couldn't fight any longer and he fell into Jesus's arms.

Keith was blessed to be able to do the thing he loved as a very proud farmer and partner in
Henggeler Farms. This is the legacy he leaves behind for his father, wife, and children to carry on. He developed this love from the example his father gave him, and his very active involvement with the Schuyler Central High School FFA chapter, serving as the president his senior year in 1992. He was very proud of his accomplishments including being the state champion in Extemporaneous Speaking, Tractor Driving champion, and the State Star Farmer.
Keith was blessed with 4 children and 1 stepchild. Attending their many extracurricular activities
was something he looked forward to and was the one thing that would pull him away from farming whenever possible. He was also an active member in his church and Sons of the American Legion.
He is survived by his wife of almost 16 years, Sandra (Lemp), sons Alexander (fiancé Nikki),
Brenden, and Aiden, daughter Cassidy, stepchild Lee Scott, father Ron, sisters Theresa (George) Langabeer, Rhonda (Clement) Wiederholt, Anne (Randy) Gerdes, Sandra "Mogi" (Chris) Schuster, several nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and in-laws.
Keith was preceded in death by his mother, Betty and nephew Carson Schuster, along with his
grandparents.
