Kenneth M Doane, born May 4, 1934 in Everett, Wash., to Kenneth I. and Nora Doane died peacefully March 19, 2020 at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center.
In life, he was a loving and caring person. He enjoyed outdoor activities, which included fishing, wilderness hunting trips and working as a surveyor on the Washington side of the Columbia River before the Astoria Bridge was built. In the late 50s, he helped build the diversion tunnel for Swift Creek Dam, one of the highest earth-filled dams in the world. His primary career, though, was in title insurance and escrow which extended to teaching Real Estate Law at Clark College, Vancouver. He was often called as an expert witness by local attorneys when cases involved Real Estate Law.
As a young adult, he was active in the Jaycees and was one of the pyrotechnicians for some of the first Fort Vancouver 4th of July events. In 1966, he was honored as Junior First Citizen of Vancouver, Wash. Later, he served the community as Rotarian and as President of the Chamber of Commerce. In 2018 he was asked to serve as a board member of Woman of Wonder, Inc., a nonprofit established to provide scholarships for women. The non-profit was created to honor his wife for her passion about education.
Early in his career, while working at the City of Vancouver's Engineer's Office he earned a lifetime shortwave radio operator's license. Genealogy was a fascinating adventure which led to serving as President for half a decade of the Doane Family Association of America, Inc. He was an avid photographer and delighted in telling stories.
He was a faithful and active member and elder of First Presbyterian Church, Vancouver and served on several church and Presbytery committees. He sang in the choir, scheduled programs for men and ran the video system. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, and a son, and a grand daughter.

My Uncle was cremated and is buried at Evergreen Memorial Gardens, but FAG won't allow me to add this information as it's not finding that the place is in Vancouver, WA in Clark County. Added by Patrick A. 2023
