Keith Koplan, z”l, passed away June 2, 2022, after a battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Merle, and their six children.
Per his wishes, there will not be a funeral.
Keith was instrumental in the building of Congregation Kol Ami’s beautiful synagogue in Vancouver, Wash. He served as a co-chair for the building committee, and his touch and taste can be seen everywhere. His education and experience with furniture and design were integral to the style seen throughout Kol Ami’s space. He chose the fabric for the chairs in the sanctuary, the paint colors, the carpet, etc. 
Donations of furniture that he and Merle made to the congregation over the years are still found in many of the rooms of the building. 
“Our community was lucky and so very grateful to be the beneficiary of his many gifts of time, talent and treasure,” reads the announcement from Kol Ami.
