In loving MEMORY OF
KEVEN WOODARD
DECEMBER 16, 1964 – JULY 12, 2026
Keven Woodard leaves behind a lasting legacy of kindness, service, laughter, and love. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, friend, and mentor, Keven spent his life giving back to the Temple Terrace community. During his nine years at the Omar K. Lightfoot Community Center, his humor, creativity, and genuine care made everyone feel welcome and valued. As one coworker put it, Keven was “calm in the chaos.” Whether he was organizing activities, sharing his famous “Woodard Cookies,” or simply taking the time to ask how someone was doing, Keven had a way of making people feel seen. His warm smile, generous spirit, and unwavering dedication touched countless lives, and his legacy will continue through the people and community he loved so deeply.
