Dr. Keith Harper entered into the presence of his King and Savior on April 23, 2025, following a ten-month battle with cancer. During his long ministry as a professor, he distinguished himself as a respected historian, devoted mentor, dear friend, and faithful servant of our Lord Jesus Christ. His passing leaves a noticeable absence in the lives of those who knew him – a quiet that settles deep, missing the vibrant voice of a teacher, mentor, colleague and friend. His was a voice full of encouragement, insight, curiosity and no shortage of dry humor and timely sarcasm.
