Obituary

Tony Fish, a deeply devoted husband, father, and son passed away peacefully on September 23, 2026.  

Known as quiet and kind to the rest of the world, those lucky enough to be close to him knew his true, goofy nature — including a legendary knack for accents, especially his flawless Arnold Schwarzenegger impression. Tony found peace in nature, especially in the forests and mountain trails of the PNW. It was that shared love of the outdoors that brought him together with his wife, Jeanette. Together, they turned that shared passion into a lifetime of adventures exploring trails, traveling, and building a life deeply rooted in love for nature.

But for all his love of the mountains, his greatest and proudest adventure was being a dad. He was completely devoted to his daughters, Nora and Ruby. No matter how busy his day was, or how exhausted he felt, he never said no to time with them. He was a permanent fixture at playtime, always ready for a fierce game of "Tickle Monster." His natural warmth extended to all the kids in his life; he was the kind of uncle that kids adored and gravitated toward. 

His love lives on in his wife and partner-in-adventure, Jeanette; his daughters; his loving parents, Kathy and Damon; his sister, Amy; and a close-knit extended family of in-laws, niece, nephews, and friends who will miss his quiet kindness, his quick wit, and his big heart.

In lieu of a traditional memorial service at this time, his family asks that you honor his memory by spending some time in the great outdoors with the people you love. For those wishing to make a contribution in his name, donations can be made to the Glioblastoma Research Organization or to Slay Society Inc., which provides vital support to caregivers of those fighting Glioblastoma.
