The Somerset County Gazette published 10 death notices last week.

Every week, the Somerset County Gazette publishes death notices and funeral announcements from the families of loved ones who have passed away.

As well as appearing in print, our death notice pages will remain online as a lasting tribute to the memory of those we have lost.

Anyone who wishes to send their own message of condolence can do so by visiting the deceased's death notice page.

One death notice this week is of former tour manager for The Wurzels, Leon Williams. He passed peacefully away at St Margaret Hospice on Wednesday 14th February 2024, aged 73 years.

A spokesperson from the band paid tribute to him. They said: "For many years Leon Williams was our Roadie, Sound Engineer, Tour Manager... Everything!

"Then a few years ago we went our separate ways, but we still enjoyed his company and great sense of humour every time he came to gigs and into our dressing room.

"Our thoughts - from me Tommy, Pete, and the other Wurzel boys are with the two special ladies in his life, daughter Lisa and granddaughter Scarlett. RIP Leon, never to be forgotten"
