d. June 11, 2015
Kenneth Shelor Templeton, Sr., 76, a longtime resident and Lynchburg native, passed away on Thursday, June 11, 2015 with his devoted wife, Dorothy, by his side.
He is survived by his three children and their families, Kenneth S. Templeton, Jr. and his wife, Krista of Amherst County; Stephen B. Templeton and his wife, Christine and their son, Ryan Marsh of Idaho Falls, Idaho; and Susan T. Noon and her husband, John and their daughters, Devon Zimney and Lindsay Stoddard of Idaho falls, Idaho. There was also a shared love between Ken and his acquired children and grandchildren, Victoria and Patrick McGann and their daughters Bethany and Katie; Sabrina and Aubrey Schmitt; and Bryan Caulder and his son, Liam. In addition, he is survived by his brother, Harold and his wife, Wanda of Lynchburg; and his sister, Marjorie Quigg and her husband, Paul of Luray, Virginia. He also had numerous nephews and nieces who held a special place in his heart.
Kenneth was born on February 15, 1939, in Lynchburg to the late Marvin V. Templeton and the late Fannie Shelor Templeton. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Orion and Frank, an infant brother Randolph, and a sister, Virginia T. White.
Kenneth graduated from E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from the Virginia Military Institute in Civil Engineering. After college and service in the U.S. Army, he returned to Lynchburg and joined the family-owned paving business, Marvin V. Templeton and Sons, as Vice President. During his twenty-five year career there, he served on numerous committees and was past president of the Virginia Asphalt Association.
Ken later moved on to start his second career as a paramedic and emergency medicine instructor. He had many students during those years, and his greatest pleasure was seeing them become paramedics, nurses, physician assistants, and leaders in their respective rescue squads. Ken was a life member of the Campbell County Rescue Squad where he served in many leadership positions.
