Kenneth Charles Priestley

Ken was born on October 25, 1951; in Vancouver, BC. He lived in Vancouver until he was 11 years old and then the family moved to Coquitlam, BC. From there Ken moved, as a young adult, to Pitt Meadows, BC and finally to Claresholm, AB 12 years ago.

He studied art for a few years and then went to Alaska to work on laying the Bennett Rail Line. When he returned to BC Ken studied hard and became a Millwright. Ken worked for Flavell Cedar in Coquitlam, most of his adult life, until it was sold. Ken then worked a few years for Dynamic Logistics, where he worked on many interesting projects, among them the refurbishing of Disney’s monorails. Ken’s passion was to tinker on Millwright projects and classic cars – particularly his 66’ Ford Mustang and his 66’ Mercury Caliente. He enjoyed the camaraderie working with his fellow PHCC friends on the cars.

Ken is predeceased by his Mother - Marguerite Pajor/Priestley, Father - Murray Nolan, and stepfather - Ralph Priestley. Ken leaves behind his Life’s Partner of 31 years, Patricia (Stadel), Half-Sister – Lynda (Dale Turner), and Half-Brother Kevin (Priestley), as well as a nephew, niece, two grand nieces, one grand nephew, one great grand niece and one great grand nephew. He and his wry sense of humor will be missed!

At Ken’s Request, No Formal Funeral Service Will Be Held.
