Vincent James Kerper

Vincent James Kerper, 19, of Wyndmoor, passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his family on July 18, 2026. He was a graduate of Springfield Township High School (2025) and was committed to Ithaca College to study Physical Therapy and run track. Vincent loved listening to all genres of music and hiking with friends and family. He was a natural athlete but found a true love for track. We will miss his sense of humor, his quick wit, his quirky ways, his competitive nature, and the love he shared with those around him. His unwavering bravery this past year showed us all what true courage looks like and will forever be remembered. He is survived by his parents, Eric and Susan Kerper; his siblings, Ingrid, Nicholas, and Anderson; and a loving extended family.
