Kenneth Gerald (Ken) Challes
CHALLES Kenneth Gerald (Ken) 22nd December 1929 20th June 2024 Having been admitted to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital on Sunday 16th June, Ken died there peacefully on Thursday 20th June 2024, aged 94, with his son Martin and daughter Suzanne at his side. A much-loved Father and Grandfather and a friend to many, he had worked for the South Western Electricity Board (SWEB) as a plumber for over 40 years and had lived a very full, independent life in Taunton since retiring, travelling much of the world. Ken had decided not to have a traditional funeral, so the family plan to hold a celebration of his life in the autumn. Should you wish to attend, please contact David Challes via email: d.challes@btinternet.com. Ken was a keen supporter of the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance so any donations in his memory should be made directly to them.
