Werner passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on November 13, 2015. Werner, the son of Werner and Karine (Widtsoe) Kiepe, was born May 2, 1931. Werner was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah and graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and was affiliated with Sigma Chi Fraternity. Werner then went on to earn a Juris Doctor from George Washington University Law School. Werner also served a LDS mission in Germany for 2 1/2 years and was a JAG Officer at McChord Air Force Base. While stationed at McChord, he went on a blind date where he met the love of his life, Sally Sievers; it was love at first sight and they were married six months later. Werner continued his career as a contract negotiator with Boeing, retiring after 30 years to Sunriver, Oregon where he and Sally embraced the lifestyle and many new friends. Werner lived life to its fullest. He loved to play tennis and golf, enjoyed biking, hiking and travelling, but moreover, it was skiing he enjoyed. He instilled this with his family and would lead us down the mountain with great zeal and elegance. Werner was also a magnificent cook, and those who had the pleasure of one of his meals left craving more. Family was his biggest passion, always placing family first in his life. Werner was often described as one of the kindest men, at all times welcoming and giving, with a quick wit and a brilliant sense of humor. Werner is survived by his wife of 53 years, Sally; his two daughters, Sarah Kiepe Hardin (Michael) of Lake Tapps, Wash. and Susan Kiepe Sweeney of Seattle, Wash.; five grandsons, Taylor, Cameron and Austin Hardin, Quintin and Cade Sweeney; sister, Barbara Rosse' of Salt Lake City, Utah and sister-in-law Sharon Sievers of Everett, Wash. Werner was preceded in death by his parents; his in-laws, Floyd and Phyllis Levin and John F. Sievers; brother-in-law, Richard Rosse' and nephew, Michael Michel. A celebration of Werner's life will be held in Spring. The family wishes to thank the wonderful caregivers with Mt. Bachelor Memory Care and Hospice of Bend, Ore. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Partners In Care in Bend, Ore. or the Sunriver Nature Center.
