Kenneth Evason, known to many as "Liverpool Kenny," passed away on November 12, 2024, at Charing Cross Hospital following complications from a stroke. He was 67 years old. His passing has deeply affected the local communities in Acton, Shepherds Bush, and beyond, where he was known for his kind nature and his work as a carpenter.
Kenny, originally from Liverpool, moved to London after his service in the Royal Fusiliers. Over the years, he became a familiar face in the local pubs, especially the Red Lion and Pineapple in Acton and the White Horse in Shepherds Bush. Despite his recent move to Ladbroke Grove, Kenny always missed the community he had built in Acton.
While in the hospital, Kenny was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, which had spread to his bones. This diagnosis came during his stay after the stroke, and his health deteriorated rapidly. He passed away quietly after being in the hospital for four weeks.
With no immediate family aside from his uncle in Liverpool, Kenny relied on his close-knit circle of friends. A funeral fundraiser has been set up by Donna Long to help cover the expenses of his funeral, as Kenny had not made prior arrangements or expressed any wishes for his service. The goal is to raise £4,000 to ensure that Kenny is laid to rest with the dignity he deserves.
The community has already begun supporting the fundraiser, with early donations coming from friends like John Irvine and Peter Demetriades. Additional funds raised beyond the funeral expenses will be donated to the Royal British Legion, a charity close to Kenny’s heart.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Kenny’s friends and all those who knew him during this difficult time.
