Everton mourns Chairman Bill Kenwright’s passing while Liverpool FC pays respects

Bill Kenwright, the chairman of Everton, passed away at the age of 78. Surrounded by his loved ones and family, Kenwright departed from this life on Monday night.

Eight weeks ago, he underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his liver.

Born and raised in Everton, Kenwright spent over thirty years on the Goodison Park board.

Six years after the Toffees won the FA Cup, in 1989, he was named a director of the team for the first time.

Kenwright took over as Everton’s chairman and largest shareholder in 2004.

During that time, the Blues won the FA Cup in 2009 and achieved their highest-ever Premier League fourth-place finish in 2004–04.

After Farhad Moshiri bought the first 49.9% of Everton in February 2016, Kenwright kept his job.

In addition, Kenwright was one of the most successful theatre producers in the United Kingdom.

He worked on London’s West End productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Whistle Down the Wind, and Blood Brothers, written by Willy Russell, a native of Merseyside.

“The club has lost a chairman, a leader, a friend, and an inspiration,” an Everton statement read.

Everyone at Everton is thinking of and praying for his partner Jenny Seagrove, his daughter Lucy Kenwright, his grandchildren, and everyone else who knew and loved him.

Liverpool, Everton’s Merseyside rivals, have expressed their condolences and shown unity.

The club wrote, “Rest in peace, Bill Kenwright,” on their X account. Bill’s family, friends, and everyone at @Everton are in our thoughts and prayers here at Liverpool FC.

“The EFL is saddened to learn of Bill Kenwright CBE’s passing,” the organization wrote.

All of us at @Everton are sending our condolences to Bill’s family and friends.

Preston North End has expressed their sympathy.

The Everton chairman Bill Kenwright, who was 78 years old, passed away. Everyone at Preston North End is deeply saddened by this news, according to a statement released by the club.

“Bill had been associated with Everton since 1989. He was initially appointed to the board and went on to become chairman in 2004. He has remained in that position ever since.

During this trying time, Bill’s loved ones and everyone associated with the Everton Football Club are in everyone’s thoughts at PNE.

Shane Duffy, a former Everton defender, tweeted: “What terrible news for a great man.” Thank you for everything you have ever done for my family and me, Bill. RIP.
