It is with great sadness that the family of Ken Owen have announced his passing on Thursday 18th June 2026.
Ken was the dearly loved husband of the late Nancy, a much loved father to Mike and Pam, and a devoted grandad to Ethan and Kieran.
He will be fondly remembered by many in Formby for his love of the outdoors and his active involvement in the local community. Ken enjoyed spending time on his allotment, taking long walks, and had a real passion for gardening. He was also a valued member of Formby U3A, where he enjoyed playing bowls and spending time with friends.
Ken’s funeral service will take place at 12 noon on Friday 24th July at Southport Crematorium.
His family have warmly invited everyone who knew Ken to attend the service and to join them afterwards at The Grapes, Formby, where they will gather to celebrate his life and share happy memories.
Family flowers only, please. Donations in Ken’s memory would be gratefully received in aid of Guide Dogs for the Blind.
The family ended their tribute with the simple words:
“Rest in peace, Dad. xx”
Everyone at Formby Bubble sends their sincere condolences to Ken’s family, friends and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
