Donald Robert Fenton

July 31, 1958 – April 23, 2026

Donald R. Fenton, 67, passed away peacefully on April 23, 2026, at his home, surrounded by his loved ones.

Don was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He is survived by his beloved wife of 47 years, Debra Fenton; his daughter, Kelly Taylor; and his son, Daniel Fenton (Rachel Kennedy). He was a proud grandfather to Abigail Taylor, Bryce Fenton, Sarah Smith, and Jacob Smith, who brought him immense joy.

Don dedicated 30 years of his life to Washington Gas before retiring. He was also a long-time and active member of the Northern Virginia Gun Club (NVGC), where he built lasting friendships and earned respect for both his skill and character.

He had a passion for competitive shooting, where he excelled and often dominated, and he shared a special bond with his children through drag racing—creating memories filled with adrenaline, laughter, and love.

Don will be remembered for his strength, his sense of humor, and the deep love he had for his family. His presence will be greatly missed, but the memories he created will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

A celebration of life for anybody who wants to attend, will be held on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at the Fraternal Order of the Eagles, 21 Cool Springs Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22405.
