Keith Robert Heskett

June 23, 1957- April 2, 2022

Keith passed peacefully under hospice care at St. Anthony Hospital CP and was surrounded by family. He gave treatment a fighting chance but due to his condition he succumbed to his illness. He was a loving brother, father, papa, friend, nephew, uncle & cousin.

He is survived by his two daughters, Emily Chandler (Nathan), Alison Kissee (Brandon); six grandchildren that brought him so much joy: Oliver, Carson, Adelaide, Dawson, Eliza & Eloise; ex-wife, Rebecca Caldwell; sister, Shelley Elman (Richard); brother, Gary Heskett (Mary); his Aunt Jeanette Oprea who loved him like a son; cousins, nieces & nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert & Darlene Heskett & his maternal and paternal Grandparents.

He was a graduate of Purdue University and had his Bachelor’s degree in Engineering. He worked for NIPSCO, Borders Books & most recently as a Pharmacy Technician at Methodist Hospital SL for many years. He faithfully and tirelessly worked through the pandemic. He just retired in February and was looking forward to more relaxation and family time.

He loved good food, tea, reading, watching movies, documentaries, listening to music & spending time with family; especially his grandchildren. He didn’t have much, but he was so generous with what he did have.

We do not grieve as the world grieves because we have hope in our Savior, Jesus Christ. Keith told his family about his profession of faith and belief in the Son of God, Jesus Christ. He believed Christ died for his sins on the cross and rose again. Without a doubt we know he is in heaven, in the presence of Jesus Christ, for eternity. We know this is not goodbye, we will see him again! Until then, we will miss him incredibly and we will love him forever.

A memorial service will be held at Bethel Church, Hobart/Portage( 704 W 700 N Hobart, IN 46342) on Saturday, April 9th at 11am with a luncheon immediately after. https://www.google.com/search?q=bethl+church+portage%2C+i%27&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#

Emi, Ali and all of Keith’s family, please accept my deepest heartfelt condolences as you grieve the loss of Keith. Oh, but think of the great and wonderful reunion for you when you arrive in heaven! Praising God for Keith’s salvation. Glory be to our great God!

My sweet dad. I can’t believe how much my heart hurts from missing you. It’s hard to believe you aren’t here anymore and I won’t hear your voice again here on this earth. I truly look forward to the day I get to see you in heaven. These past few days after your passing have found me remembering the last two weeks of your life. Visiting you in the hospital almost daily was exhausting, but also the only place I wanted to be. When I wasn’t near you, I ached to be there. It was hard to see you slip away, but it was an honor to be there caring for you and making sure you never felt alone. I will always remember our conversations from those last two weeks. I saw a tenderness and openness I hadn’t seen before. It was comforting and precious. I just wish you were still here. I am at peace knowing you are with Jesus though and your body is brand new and perfect. Love you so much and miss you terribly

Dad I love you so much. My heart hurts knowing we will have no more memories on this earth. I’m sad you will not get to see our kids grow up. I know you are whole and healthy in Heaven and that comforts my heart at the same time. I hope I can be as generous as you. It was a privilege to spend your last 2 weeks on earth with you. I will cherish the memories of all we talked about & cried over. Thank you for being such a loving dad and wonderful papa. Until we meet again, I will love you forever.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
