Scott E. Fassett

Scott Ellinger Fassett passed away unexpectedly on July 12, 2013 at the age of 42. Scott was born to Harold Stedman Fassett Jr. and Joanne Fassett in Zama, Japan in 1970 where his father was a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy. He was stationed there until he transferred to Bremerton in 1974 and moved the family to Horseshoe Lake. This beloved lake was Scott's childhood home and he and his brother had so many memories and stories about growing up there. Scott was very involved in soccer and baseball, playing All-Stars baseball through High School. His son, Taylor, shows the same talent for baseball as his Dad. Scott married Sara Zanner in 1998. Their daughter, Jordyn, was born in 2000 and was his pride and joy. Their son, Taylor, was born in 2002 and their family was complete with a son to carry on the Fassett name. Scott was such a fun Dad and loved his kids more than anything. They have many fond memories of him playing, laughing, and genuinely enjoying life with them. Scott brought his theatrical talents to the Bellingham Theater Guild and had great parts in many local plays such as "Charlie's Aunt", "Who's Wives Are They Anyway?", and 'Arsenic and Old Lace". His final play was his best when he played the role of George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life". Many of his family members and friends were able to come and see him shine in this lead role. His daughter, Jordyn, is following in his acting footsteps. Scott was a bright spark in this world. He loved people; happily talking to anyone he would meet about anything. When he walked into a room, you knew he was there. He was an amazing writer, thinker, and an old soul yet perpetually youthful on the surface. He had a strong faith in God and passed his faithfulness on to his family. We will all miss his vibrant spirit here but know that we will see him again in Heaven, where he is watching us all with a smile on his face. Scott was preceded in death by his father, Harold Stedman Fassett III in 2008. He is survived by his mother, Joanne Fassett, brothers, Chris Fassett and Ted Fassett, sister, Susan Fassett, his daughter Jordyn (13), and son Taylor (11), as well as his ex-wife and friend, Sara Fassett, and his Aunt Janet and Uncle John, and many nieces and nephews. A beautiful, small family service was held at Horseshoe Lake on July 21, 2013 as a tribute to the place where his best memories were.
