Chris Fenton passed away unexpectedly due to an accident on Sunday, March 13, 2016. Fisherman, story-teller, hiker, music-lover, cook, gardener, reader, sports-fan, traveler, movie-buff, carpenter… He was an incredible man, rich in experiences, knowledge and love. Chris was the fantastic father and best friend of his two kids, Cy and Haley. He not only taught them how to work hard and take care of themselves, he also taught them the art of telling stories and making people laugh, how to properly cook a salmon, to appreciate the changes of the seasons in the forest, and the importance of taking a break. Chris saw Cy and Haley as they are, with their inherited adventurous spirits. He supported them in their paths and was always eager to pick up the phone to hear how the journey was going. The consensus from loved ones and good friends is that Chris didn’t talk much about himself, and he didn’t talk much about anyone else, but he was always talking about his kids. He was incredibly proud of them and they look forward to continue making him proud. As formal settings weren’t Chris’s style, we will be celebrating his birthday at the house to share food, drink, and stories - his favorite. Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Inc., Anacortes, WA and the San Juan Islands.
