Obituary of Kenneth William Gatecliff

It's with saddened hearts, we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved Kenneth William on Jan 28 , 2024 at the age of 40. Beloved husband of Jacqueline Gatecliff, step father to Kellan. Loving son of Tracy and Tim Phalen, son in-law to Edward and Ruth Raymer, cherished brother of Bradley. Beloved grandson of the late Mary and Cecil Gatecliff and Cyril and the late Gloria Phalen. Loved by all his aunts and uncles, Doug and Lori, Cecil and Robert Gatecliff. Kenneth leaves behind many cousins, nieces and nephews and wonderful friends

Kenneth was loved and respected by all who knew him. He was always well mannered and never left without telling you he loved you. Ken was passionate about love, life, music and adventures outdoors especially the time when he and his wife crashed the canoe. He enjoyed so many different things it’s hard to pinpoint just a few, he had such a zest for life that he loved everything he did and was always such an easygoing guy.

Animals held a very special place in his heart, especially his fur babies Knox and Onyx.  He was always happiest while spending time with his wife, family and friends.

Special thanks to the staff at Victoria Hospital ICU for their care and compassion.

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Kenneth’s life will held at a later date.

Sympathy maybe expressed through donations to the Kidney Foundation of Canada or the Sarnia Humane Society (cheques only at funeral home)
