PORT TOWNSEND, WASHINGTON — Kenneth Gerald Petticrew, a member of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes, passed away on Dec. 10, 2022, at Jefferson Health Care, Port Townsend, Washington, at age 67. He fought a hard fight after being diagnosed with bile duct cancer earlier this year.
He was born on Nov. 26, 1955, to mother Geraldine Bisson and father Edgar Petticrew. He grew up in the Mission Valley being the youngest of eight children. After graduating from Ronan High School, he attended cooking school. Later he traveled to Seattle where he made his home and lived for the past 37 plus years. He had various jobs and retired, due to health issues, as an Innkeeper at the Bishop and Swan Hotels in Port Townsend. Kenny’s Port Townsend family loved him and helped with transportation to and from doctors and hospital appointments and other loving assistance. We say thank you and God Bless.
He is preceded in death by his parents and his siblings, Patricia Tryon, Phyllis Petticrew, Eugene Petticrew, Beverly Petticrew and Charlotte Petticrew.
Kenny is survived by his siblings, Robert Petticrew and Sharon Rosenbaum and special nephew, Kevin Adams, along with many other numerous nieces and nephews.
We will celebrate Kenny’s life with graveside services on May 16, 2023, at 1 p.m. at the Lake View Cemetery in Polson. Friends and family are welcome.
Rest in peace little brother. We love you.
