It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we remember the life of Tim Keener. Tim started his remarkable career by leaving the small North Georgia enclave of Ellijay and joining the US Army, working as a specialist in communications and countermeasures in Europe. He eventually found his way into working a post in The White House Communications Agency, providing premier information and communication services for US Presidents, an experience that eventually inspired Tim to join the United States Secret Service. For the next 20 years, Tim would work in Technical Surveillance Countermeasures as a USSS agent assessing, planning and implementing secure environments for former and active Presidents and Vice Presidents of the United States. Upon retirement, Tim brought his impressive skills to HPI where he was beloved by all those who were lucky enough to know him.
Tim is survived by his wife Kara and his athletically talented children, Reagan and Noah, whom he was especially proud of.
2 Timothy 4:17
“But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth.” (Reagan Keener listed this as her favorite Bible verse on her college team website. Seems fitting.)
