In loving memory of Dr Michael Kellaway-Marriott who sadly passed away on 11th February 2025.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our father, husband, grandfather, uncle and friend, Mike Kellaway-Marriott at the age of 83. He passed away suddenly at his home in Taunton.
Mike was born in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire and was an only child. In his early life, he moved around eventually settling in London. He immigrated to Venezuela in the 1980s and began his new life in Caracas, later moving to Maracaibo.
He graduated as an engineer in 1963 and went on to obtain a doctorate in History later in life. He was very dedicated to his working roles; during his career as an engineer he helped build the Caracas underground and managed engineers throughout Venezuela for various oil projects. He later became an entrepreneur and started his own business.
He returned to England in 1999 with his family and settled in Weston-super-Mare. During his time there, he took great interest in local politics and was a Councillor for North Somerset Council and the Town Council, later becoming Mayor in 2010. He contributed greatly to the local community, charities and individuals.
Mike was the driving force of the family. He was well known for his distinct personality and long conversations. He took an interest in everyone he met and was a big support to all his family and friends. He will be dearly missed.
