Reverend Richard Baxter
1961 – 2026
“Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord.”

Today some of our team had the privilege of attending to pay our respects and mourn the loss of Reverend Richard Baxter, former minister of Fort William – Kilmallie and Kilmonivaig Parishes.

Travelling to St. Kenneth’s Church in Kennoway, Fife, on a beautiful spring day, we joined hundreds gathered to honour a much-loved and deeply respected gentleman. The church was filled to capacity — a true reflection of the esteem in which he was held. Following the service, he was laid to rest nearby at St. Drostan’s Cemetery.

Having worked closely with Reverend Baxter over the years, it was a particular honour for us to be present and to pay our own respects to someone who served our community with such faithfulness, compassion, and dedication.

We express our sincere sympathies to his immediate family: his wife Sheryl; children Patrick and Amy; daughter-in-law Emma; granddaughter Niamh; and his mother Gertie. We also extend our heartfelt condolences to his extended family, friends, and all those within his parish communities.

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants.” (Psalm 116:15)

A reminder to those who were unable to attend today’s service that a Service of Thanksgiving will take place at Kelvin West Parish Church, 77 Southpark Avenue, Glasgow, G12 8LE, on Saturday 28th March 2026 at 11:00am. All are warmly welcome.
