Owens also shared a tribute in honor of Colley from the Alliance Agents Facebook page.

“Ken loved attending conventions and meeting the fans,” the tribute reads, in part. “He travelled all over the World yet could never quite grasp why everyone wanted his autograph. He was a very humble man with an incredibly dry wit.”

It continued, “Ken loved his garden, art, cars and the occasional Porn Star Martini. His wife Mary died several years ago, since then he has been looked after by his friend Lynn. Ken lived in Hythe in Kent.”

Concluding the tribute, Owens wrote, “It has been a pleasure representing Ken over the years. He wasn’t just a client, but also a friend.”
