The sermon shared at the memorial of our beloved Ken Brookefield stands as a testament to his unwavering faith, boundless kindness, and the enduring legacy of love he left behind.
May this reflection offer comfort and inspiration, reminding us of the values Ken cherished and the light he brought to all who knew him.
Sermon – Ken Brookfield – St. John’s – 2024
In planning for today Alison made it very clear that this service was to be a celebration of life. And so, it is a celebration of the life of Ken Brookfield and what a life, what a wonderful life in so many ways. He lived for 101 years and for most of that time in very good health. As a young man he met the love of his life Hanna and they would spend the next 60 years as the apple of each other’s eye, raising a wonderful family together. He ran his own successful business and had many interests including calligraphy, nature and classical music. Ken lived in his own home right up until the last week of his life and he died peacefully with family by his side and his favourite Mozart music gently playing. In a way, should we all be so blessed, so blessed of a life well and truly lived.
