Keith Redmon '88 steps down after 4 decades as Director of Redmon Funeral Home

  Congratulations to Keith Redmon '88, as he recently announced he is stepping down as the President/Director of Redmon Funeral Homes. Keith is retiring from the family business, as is his wife, Catherine. Keith is looking forward to more time with his family, more availability away from the business he launched a career into, and more time with his church family. Four years ago, Keith made the difficult decision to sell the family business to Rollings Funeral Homes, based out of Atlanta, Georgia. He knew the decision wasn't easy, but he knew his father would be okay with the decision. Keith and his wife are excited for the next chapter of their life, and he has a peace in the unknown for what lies ahead for him. Congratulations to Keith for his amazing career in serving families and meeting their needs, and we wish him all the best in this next season of life!
