IN LOVING MEMORY

AYNE ARCHIE BOLT

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Ayne Archie Bolt, who passed away on January
14th, 2026 at the age of 81 to his battle of Lung Cancer. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends,
and all who knew him.
Ayne was born on October 01, 1944 in Colville, WA to Art and Adra Bolt. Over the years, Ayne would work as a carpenter in
the construction industry. He is a protector, provider, father. If you knew Ayne you knew he had a big heart for his pets. While
he was baking a pie and making steak, his dog were getting served steak too. His dogs even had their own designated couch
in the house.
Ayne loved life; he was always positive and a happy man who never took anything too seriously. He would welcome you into
his home with open arms and a bright smile. Gardening and a perfect yard was his passion. Fords and Family were also on
his top priority list as he was the glue that kept us all together.
Aside from the hard working man that Ayne was, he also loved to travel. He loved to take small trips to Texas with Fran to visit
family. Most recently he took a trip to Mazatlan and went on cruises to the Caribbean. For fun, he also enjoyed taking trips to
casinos in Vegas and Airway Heights. Ayne will be missed dearly by all of us, he leaves a legacy behind.
Ayne proudly served in the United States Marine Corps. During his time of service to our Country he was deployed forward in
defense of our nation. He served honorably in the Vietnam War, his decorations include:
-National Defense Service Medal
-Vietnam Service Medal w/1*
-Vietnam Campaign Medal w/device
You could call him a hero.
Ayne was preceded in death by his parents Art Bolt and Adra Chamberlain and by Daughter, Rhonda. He is survived by his
children, Chris (Becky) Bolt of Nine Mile Falls, Washington Devin (Gary) Kent of Kettle Falls, Washington, Shannon
(Shannon) Bolt San Antonio, Texas; 8 grandchildren; and 10 great grandchildren; siblings, Terry, Janet, Lois, Gary, Tim and
