KERRY DANIEL FENNER.  

             "I'll see ya when I see ya"

 

Kerry Daniel Fenner passed unexpectedly of unkown causes Friday July 29th at the Welcome House in Wakefield.

Starting at a young age Kerry was Seastruck & aspired to become a commercial fisherman. He started fishing "Old School '' out of the Port of Galilee on the eastern rig F/V LUANN with his little brother Stevie's father Steve Dobson.

Growing up he would be seen digging clams & pole fishing on the docks with his brothers.

He enjoyed helping with mom & the Dobsons with boat haul out work at the boat yards.

In 2012 he took a transit fishing trip on the F/V Willian Lynn Portland which opened the opportunity to fish offshore out of Portland ME, Gloucester, Boston & New Bedford MA.

Kerry was & worked as an accomplished cook. He loved to cook for crew, family & friends. He was a great host. He also volunteered to cook & fundraise providing dinners to raise funds for others in need.

In addition to his passion of fishing & cooking he also had a love of his family’s farm in Charlestown. When able he would help on the farm & in the the hayfields that benefited it. Kerry also worked as a snowmaker at the Sunday River Resort in Newry ME.

He was excellent with children & was referred to by many children as "Uncle Fen". Kerry was generous. If you were in need & he could help in any way he would. He would put his own needs aside to help others. Unfortunately, Kerry struggled with addiction & all that led up to & came with it.
