We were deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Rev. Richard Baxter, former minister of Fort William - Kilmallie Parish, linked with Kilmonivaig Parish Church, Spean Bridge.

It was always a privilege for us to work alongside Rev. Baxter as he supported families across Fort William, Kilmallie and Kilmonivaig Church. His calm presence, compassion and genuine care brought comfort to so many people during difficult times.

He was a much respected minister and a truly kind man who will be greatly missed.

Our heartfelt thoughts and condolences are with his family, friends and congregation.

Safe in the arms of the Lord he served so faithfully.

From all at Manson and MacBeath Funeral Directors, Fort William.
