Kenneth Fletcher

October 4, 1945–January 13, 2022

Kenneth Fletcher passed away January 13, 2022, in Spokane, Wash., at Sacred Heart Medical Center at the age of 76.

Kenneth was born October 4, 1945, in Dayton, Wash., to Leo R. and Norma Fletcher and was raised on the family farm in Starbuck. He served in the U.S. Army and was deployed to Vietnam as an engineer.

Upon returning to the States, Ken had a wide range of careers. He was a rancher, worked mechanics, drove semi, and his all-time favorite job, designing and building boats for Duckworth in their early stages. He finally retired from the Army Corps of Engineers at Lower Monumental Dam just a few years ago.

Ken was a very compassionate and loving husband, father, and role model to many. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, attending family sporting events, meeting new people, and yelling at the TV during NASCAR races.

He had a way of turning a complete stranger into a friend, and always found a way to bring out the good in all people he crossed paths with. That was one of his greatest gifts. Ken will be loved and missed by many friends and family members for years to come.

Kenneth was preceded in death by his father Leo.

He is survived by his wife of 25 years; Doreen Fletcher at their home in Colbert, Wash .; his sons; Kenny Fletcher, and Samuel Fletcher; and daughters; Kally Wenzel, Katie Rowell, and Chris Timmons; and two step-children, Jeremiah and Jerrica Ochs; as well as his 12 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren; his mother, Norma; and sisters; Lori Franklin and Janet Reniff; and by his brother; Jack Fletcher.

A Memorial Service for Kenneth Fletcher will be Saturday, July 9, at 1 p.m. in the chapel of Corbeill Funeral Home (formerly Hubbard-Rogg) in Dayton. Burial will be in the Dayton Cemetery.
