Born on June 22, 1950. Passed away January 1, 2025.

Surrounded by love Ken Hills (Hillsy) boarded his last load at 2.15pm on 1.1.2025.

Ken was a beloved friend and husband to Janine, an amazing and wonderful Dad to Sionainn and Ellis, cheeky Popken to Macy, caring father in law to Raph and Jasmine.
