Obituary
Fred Paul Holton, age 76, passed away on July 28, 2021, in Blaine, Washington. Fred was born in 1945 on Bastille Day, as he always told anyone who asked his birth date, to Preston and Grace Holton and grew up in Anacortes, Washington. At age 19, he joined the U.S. Army and became an expert rifleman and earned a Bronze Star.
Fred is survived by his wife of 31 years, Eleanor Holton, his daughter Rhiannon Witt, and his grandchildren Cory Witt, Caden Williams, and Carina Williams. He is preceded in death by his parents and brother, Frank Holton. Fred will be dearly missed by his friends and family.
At his request there will be no service. His ashes will be scattered beside those of his parents and brother at a private gathering.

I’m so sorry to hear of Fred’s passing. He was an encouragement to me and others we both knew. Fred was an active participant in the Republican Party for many years and that’s how my husband and I met him. If you walked into the office there he’d be with a big smile. He spoke fondly of his family, especially his dear wife. Rest In Peace Fred!

To my dear Father. May you RIP and I really loved all the years we had together. I can’t wait to see you again someday. You are so special to me and will be in my heart forever.

Thank you for remembering Fred. We were married 31 years and have a lot of good memories. He died of complications related to diabetes.

We have known Fred as a neighbour for over 13 years. Often we met him in the garage, making sure his own or his wife’s car looked their best. Fred always had a friendly question about our well-being and smile for us – this is what we remember.
