It is with heavy hearts that the family of Kenneth Westgate announce his passing on February 12, 2026, at the age of 68. Ken will be lovingly missed by his best friend and soul mate, Kim MacTavish. Predeceased by his parents, Wilson and Jean (MacLachlan) Westgate, as well as his brother John and his wife Valerie (Dieno). He will be fondly remembered by his brothers Roy, Russell (Evelyn MacMaster), Ron (Audrey MacGillivray), and by his sister Lois (Sheldon Box). He will be greatly missed by his many nieces, nephews, dear friends and extended family. Ken was known for his dry wit, always delivered with a warm smile and a twinkle in his eye.
