Family, friends and colleagues have said a fond farewell to LG Technical Support Manager Ken Macedo, who died in March at the age of 66.
Born in India in 1958, Ken’s family moved to the UK in 1965. He was a keen sportsman, representing his school at basketball, football and judo, as well as competing in the British amateur weightlifting championships.
Ken joined LG in 2007 following 10 years at wholesaler Dean & Wood. His industry journey also included a decade at Risby Air Conditioning and shorter spells at McAlpine Mead and Interact.
Some of his work took Ken overseas to South Korea and Italy, but he was always glad to return home to wife Denise and children James and Emma. Family always came first for Ken and he was delighted by the arrival of grandson Louie in 2023.
Ken was diagnosed with blood cancer in 2015 and underwent a stem cell transplant in 2016. He continued to work at LG until his death, which followed a short illness.
The eulogy at his funeral service in Wokingham said: “He was not really a materialistic person but when it came to family and friends he had generosity in spades. And that is how we would like to remember Ken, who despite some tough times throughout his life was always positive, kind and helpful. We will all have our special memories to keep and cherish of a genuinely lovely man who did not expect to leave us so soon.’’
