Albert Edward Feakin
March 9, 1935 ~ March 21, 2018
Albert passed away peacefully on March 21, 2018, at home on Sauvies
Island with family at his side.
He was born in Woodland, Washington to Albert (Sonny) and Hazel Feakin. He attended school in Kalama, Washington until the family moved to Sauvies Island where he finished at Scappoose High School.
He met the love of his life, Sharon JoAnne King in 1956. They were married in Stevenson, Washington on December 27, 1958. There they began their lifelong journey together of 59 beautiful years of marriage. He referred to Sharon as his “Forever and Always.” Al and Sharon’s home is on Sauvies Island where they raised their four children: Diane, Kevin, Steve and Barney.
His roles in life were abundant... Al was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and best friend.
He was a shareholder and worked at Linnton Plywood Mill until he decided to venture out on his own where he started Al’s Pumps Sales and Services. Al and Sharon ran the business together, until he retired and sold the company. Then they began their golden years of traveling and spending time with their grandchildren. He was a role model to his family. He instilled in each of them the value and significance of the meaning of family.
He enjoyed camping, RVing, exploring, walking, hiking and most of all spending time with his family. In his later years when his health started to decline, reading, working in his greenhouse and gardening became his passion.
Al is preceded in death by his spouse, Sharon JoAnn Feakin; parents Albert (Sonny) and Hazel Feakin; mother and father-in-law, James and Eva King; and granddaughter, Jeannie Feakin.
