Peacefully on 28th September 2024, in the compassionate care of Ladysmith Care Home, after a long battle with Alzheimer's, with his family by his side, Ken aged 91 years.

Family was everything to Ken, and he lived his life through his faith and with immense kindness, generosity, humour, wisdom and strength, Ken will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

His mind and body are free at last from their earthly constraints, and he rests in the loving embrace of our Lord.

I attended the youth club at Welholme Road Methodist Church in the 1970s. We all loved going to “club” on Friday evenings - Mr Davy always welcomed us all in with great enthusiasm. He modelled for us teens such a positive adult/young person relationship, and was always so interested in us. What a wonderful example he set for us teens to follow - I count myself fortunate to have known him.
