It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our past member, Past President and Paul Harris Fellow, Kevern Kendle, who passed away on Wednesday.
Kevern was a highly respected member of the Rotary Club of West Lakes and gave many years of dedicated service to our club and the wider community.
His commitment to Rotary’s ideal of Service Above Self left a lasting legacy, and he will be fondly remembered for the positive impact he made.
Our sincere condolences are extended to Kevern’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Kevern.
Thank you for your friendship, leadership and outstanding service. You will be greatly missed.
For those who would like to say goodbye and celebrate Kevern’s life:
