Ethan Phinney Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Anders-Detweiler Funeral Home & Crematory - Souderton on Dec. 29, 2025.
Ethan Wayne Phinney, 44, of Perkasie, Pennsylvania, formerly of Quakertown, PA, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, December 25, 2025.

Born in Hilltown Township, Pennsylvania, Ethan was the son of Wayne E. Phinney of Hilltown, PA and the late Bonnie Lou (Frazier) Phinney.

Ethan was a graduate of Pennridge High School and went on to attend Beaver College in Glenside, PA, where he completed two years of study. He was employed for 20 years as a Project Manager with Bath Max in Dublin, Pennsylvania where he worked with his father in the family business.

A devoted member of Living Hope Community Church, Ethan faithfully served as an usher and assisted with the Living Hope Café. He was also proud to have achieved the rank of Life Scout with the Boy Scouts of Bucks County.

Ethan had many interests and talents. He enjoyed woodworking and working with tools, was an avid reader, and had a deep love for music. He could play music by ear and enjoyed playing both the piano and guitar. He also found joy in vegetable and flower gardening, collecting vinyl records, and spending time with his beloved cat, Lucy. He had a special bond with his grandparents, the late Mark and Shirley Phinney.

Ethan will be remembered as a hardworking, honest, kind, and sensitive man whose gentle spirit touched those who knew him.

In addition to his father, Ethan is survived by his sister, Christmas J. Somers, and her husband, Jacob, of Newcastle, California, and his stepmother, Valentina Shabunova of Hilltown, PA.

In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by his brother, Duane W. Phinney.

A viewing will be held on Saturday, January 3, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Living Hope Community Church, 22H West Route 313, Perkasie, PA 18944, followed by a funeral service at 11:00 a.m.

Arrangements are entrusted to Anders-Detweiler Funeral Home & Crematory, 130 East Broad Street, Souderton, PA 18964. Online condolences may be shared at www.andersfh.com.
