Originally from Weston, a 1962 Knox College grad who started his Ministry (47+ years) in rural Alberta, and then in Church Extension in Orillia (St. Mark's) before going to Newmarket. He was also on the York Region Board of Education as a School Trustee in Newmarket.

I'm sorry to let you know of the passing of The Rev. Ken Wild, lately minister of the Lunenburg-Rose Bay charge in the Presbytery of Halifax and Lunenburg. Ken grew up in Woodbridge Presbyterian Church and served on the Session there until he began studies at the Presbyterian College, Montreal. During his time at PC, he was student minister at Robert Campbell Memorial Church in Montreal, and upon graduation was called to Kenyon Church, Dunvegan. Later, he came to St. Andrew's Church, Southampton, where he spent most of his ministry. In 2004 he moved to Lunenburg.

The funeral will be in Lunenburg on Wednesday, but there will be a memorial service at St. Andrew's, Southampton, on Saturday at 11:00 a.m.

Your prayers are sought for Ken's brother, Ron, and his mother-in-law, Mary Mossop.

Sad to hear about Ken. While he was at the college, he bought Honda Accord Demo. I can still see his happy and proud face.
