KeithDUFFELENPeacefully on the 7th of May 2024, aged 93 years.
Beloved husband of Pat, father of Ian, Mark and Geoff, grandfather and great grandfather.
He lived a remarkable life.
Keith grew up in 'Thornton Heath, Surrey, narrowly escaped a doodlebug in the war and went to Croydon School of Art when he left school.
The family moved to Falmouth in 1966 and he continued working until age 75.
Keith was a talented artist, but made his name as an engineering designer, including achieving a Design Council Award, presented by the Duke of Edinburgh.
He spent many years working voluntarily for the Samaritans and Cruse as a counsellor and Director, before he and Pat moved to East Budleigh in 2014 to be close to their sons.
He was a kind and generous man, loved by many, he will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.
Keith's Funeral service will take place at East Devon Crematorium on Friday the 24th of May at 1:45pm.
Family flowers only please but donations in Keith's name for Cruse and The Samaritans may be left at the service, made online at KeithDuffelen.muchloved.com or sent c/o
Otter Valley Funerals, 1 Brook House, Brook Road, Budleigh Salterton, EX9 6AY 01395 911118.
