Obituary of Kenneth Ian Gillies
IN THE CARE OF

First Memorial Funeral Services

Kenneth Ian Gillies passed away unexpectedly on July 12, 2023 at the age of 72. Our family is devastated by his sudden death. Ken was born on April 10, 1951.

Ken is survived by his wife Kathy; sons Greg (Kayla) and Torrey (Tawnee); a granddaughter Amaya (2yrs. old); his sister-in-law Debbie; his brother Ron (Colleen); his 1 niece Jennifer, and a number of cousins.

Ken was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He was a devoted father who treasured every moment with his family. Ken especially loved his new role as Grandpa.

Ken faced every challenge in life with admirable strength and courage. He taught us the importance of family, hard work, and doing what is right.

Ken had a vivacious personality and an amazing sense of humour. He made friends everywhere he went. He was a compassionate, caring and contributing individual.

Although Ken was taken from us much too soon, he lived a full, rich life. He will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Cancer Foundation or the Alzheimer’s Society.

A private family Celebration of Life will be held in lieu of a service.
