We are deeply saddened by the passing of Captain David George Hebden, who passed away peacefully on 15th February, aged 87, after a short illness. For 60 years, he was the beloved husband of Gina. He was a devoted father to Karen and Matthew, a much-loved father-in-law to Annie, and a proud Grandpa to Mia, Georgia, Alexander, and Nik. David was larger than life—kind, generous, and unforgettable. He will be greatly missed. A funeral service will be held at Thames View Crematorium on Monday, 17th March, at 12:00 noon, followed by a wake at Rochester and Cobham Park Golf Club. Family flowers only. Donations to the RNLI c/o.

We were so sorry to hear of Davids passing. We were very lucky to have known David, and share happy neighbours get togethers in Shorne. He was such a funny, interesting gentleman. Sending love to Gina and family.

David spent his career helping and supporting the marine industry. To all maritime folk, and to all that rely on it (i.e. everyone) - raise a glass to Mr. David George Hebden. Thank you Sir for your service, your stories and your inspiration.
