Cary Scott Kieffer, 47, of Evansville, Indiana, formerly of Mount Carmel, Illinois, passed away Thursday, March 24, 2022, at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Evansville, Indiana. He was born on December 14, 1974, in Mount Carmel, the oldest of four children to Timothy J. Kieffer and Cynthia L. Wolfe.
Cary was a member of the 1993 Graduating Class of Mount Carmel High School. He was a four-year athlete with the Golden Aces Football Team playing Center position. He attended Wabash Valley College and began a career in automobile sales, working in the family-owned business, Wolfe’s Illiana Auto Sales in Bridgeport, IL, and then transferred to Wolfe’s Auto Auctions in Terre Haute, IN, where he was General Manager. More recently, he found his purpose in helping other men in their recovery journey through the Evansville Rescue Mission. Cary had a deep love of music and he and his dad shared the God-given talent of being able to play guitar and keyboard by ear. He greatly enjoyed strumming a tune on his favorite guitar and singing along. Cary was interested in cars and enjoyed riding motorcycles. He had a great sense of humor, quick wit, and always wanted to make people laugh. He was very kind and caring, with a big heart of gold, and willing to help anyone he could. Cary loved his whole family dearly, but being “Uncle Bubba” to his nephew and four nieces was the absolute love of his life. He will always be loved and remembered by his family and many friends.
