It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our Board Chair, Keith V. Hamilton.

Mr. Hamilton dedicated more than 25 years of service to the Board, including his time as Chair. Throughout his tenure, he exemplified an unwavering commitment to public service and to the residents of this community, always leading with integrity, compassion, and purpose.

Those who had the privilege of working alongside him will remember not only his strong and steady leadership, but also his humility, kindness, and genuine care for others. His impact on this organization and the lives of those we serve will not be forgotten.

The Mercer County Board of Social Services, along with the entire Mercer County community, has lost a devoted advocate and a remarkable individual who truly cared about making a difference.

We ask that you keep Mr. Hamilton’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Additional information will be shared as it becomes available.
