Rev Ken Hunter, 20/7/1946 – 6/7/2026

It is with sadness that the Free Church learned of the passing of Rev Ken Hunter on Monday 6th July at the age of 79.

Ken was minister at Brora Free Church from 1998 for around a decade. He was also hospital Chaplain at Golspie and Migdale hospitals. He retired several years ago.  For the past thirteen years his wife, Marjorie and Ken have lived in Edwinstowe in Nottingham. 

He was a much-loved husband, grandad, great grandad, brother, uncle, great uncle and dad.

His daughter Debbie Duncan said: “Dad has been so resilient – battling early onset Alzheimer’s. He told me in the early days of his illness that God would look after him and He did. 

“Dad passed into heaven listening to Psalm 121 surrounded by family.”

Our thoughts and prayers are with Marjorie, daughter Debbie, son Paul and daughter Lorna and their families. You can contact the family by email: [email protected]
