The heartbreaking news comes after Kenwright had been admitted to intensive care following complications during surgery earlier this month. The operation had been deemed a success but resulted in the 78-year-old spending “a prolonged period in an intensive care unit”.
Kenwright revealed in 2015 that he had been diagnosed with a “chronic illness” that would likely get worse over time.
It was clear the effect that Kenwright had on Everton as a whole and his passing was felt by everyone affiliated with the Toffees, with players sent home as a result of the magnitude of the news.
