May 7, 1952 - March 23, 2023
On March 23, 2023, Douglas Lloyd Fenn passed peacefully at the age of 71, surrounded by his family.
He was born on May 7, 1952, to Richard and Hazel Fenn in Ontario, Oregon. Doug was loved from the moment his parents laid eyes on him. He was soon joined by his siblings Lorraine, Steven, Marilyn, Rodney and Angela, who together learned in equal measure to work hard and have fun. Doug attended school in Ontario. He was 15 years old when he and the family moved to Quincy, Washington, where he quickly made lifelong friends, whom he treasured.
After graduating from Quincy High School, Doug worked in an auto body shop in Wenatchee, Washington, until he moved back to the Quincy area and joined his brothers Steve and Rod in farming for their father, Dick. Later, Doug would relocate to Ephrata, Washington, where he worked for Japan Airlines in Moses Lake, Washington, until he retired. Doug loved fishing at Lake Lenore and hunting in the Palisades.
The greatest blessing in Doug's life was the family and friends he loved throughout his life. Whether it was his parents and siblings who loved him deeply throughout the entirety of his life, or his beloved wife and children who blessed him immensely, Doug found his true happiness in the family he adored. This love is best shown through his relationship with Crystal Adams, which spanned over 21 years and resulted in their marriage on May 29, 2021, the seven children that he cherished and the 19 grandchildren who were truly the apples of his eyes. For Doug, family was everything.
Doug was preceded in death by his father Richard, mother Hazel and sister Lorraine. He is survived by his adoring family and friends, including his wife Crystal Adams; children Chad (Bree) Blanchfield, Wendy (Roberto) Blanchfield, Stephanie Fenn, Eric Fenn, Cindy Cobb, Tom (Stacey) Cobb and Stephanie (Andy) Blauert; grandchildren Jaye Lynn, Alexandrea, Adrianna, Alexis, Junior, Samantha, Suzette, Caleb, Seth, Kody, Jazmyne, Chevelle, Dallie, Kolby, Chayce, Shaye, Lyla, Aubrey, and Hadley; and siblings Steven Fenn, Marilyn (Dennis) DeYoung, Rodney (Leanne) Fenn and Angela Fenn Bergeron.
A Celebration of Life will be held on May 7, 2023, at 2 p.m., at the Quincy Valley Historical Society Barn, 415 F St. SW, Quincy, Washington. As we celebrate both his birth and his passing on this day, all are invited to join us as we gather to share stories and enjoy some good food.
