Victor Hamilton Obituary

Victor Russell Hamilton, 88, peacefully passed away at his home surrounded by family on August 26, 2024, in Mount Vernon, WA. Born in Lakota, ND on November 11, 1935, Victor dedicated his life to service as a veteran of the US Navy from 1953-1956, as a computer engineer, husband and father. He graduated from Everett High School and furthered his education by taking courses at the University of Southern California.

Victor was a proud patriot who embodied reason and empathy. His warm, loving demeanor, combined with an inquisitive mind, made him a joy to be around and especially endearing to his grandkids. Victor cherished his time reading science fiction and Scientific American, watching Star Trek, and caring for his beloved pets. In his later years, he authored a sci-fi book, dabbled in physics, and earned membership into Mensa.

He leaves behind a loving family including his brother John of Redding, CA; children Russell (Janet) of Driftwood, TX, Renae (Noelle) of Kauai, HI, Grant of Cypress, TX, Victor (Rachel) of Arlington, WA, and Elsa (Bob) of Stanwood, WA. He was also a loving grandfather to Nicholas, Nathaniel (Diana), Dominic (Danielle), Celeste (Todd), Sarah (Scott), William (Kacie), Alexis (William), Ashtyn, Ava, and Bo, and great-grandfather to Lilly, Paige, Luke, Paisley, Logan, Leighton, Kimber, Quinn, Daniel, Marvin, Samuel, and Karson, and an uncle and great-uncle to numerous nieces and nephews.

Victor was preceded in death by his wives Nicki, Elsa, and Teresa, his eight brothers Chet, Vern, Curtis, Floyd, Maurice, George, Jim, and Harold, and two sisters Helen and Olive.

A private, immediate-family only, service to honor Victor's life will be held at Cypress Lawn Cemetery in Everett, WA, on November 11, 2024, followed by a celebration-repast, that is open to family and friends, from 1-3pm at the Fraternal Order of Eagles, 2822 Hoyt Ave., Everett, WA.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be sent to The NOAH Center (Northwest Organization for Animal Help) located in Stanwood, WA.

Russ was a sweet man who was easy to be around. He loved my sister, Nancy and together they had an adventurous life together. His love of children, animals and kind political policies set an example for sure. We chatted every two weeks after Nan died. Rest in peace.
