Daniel McFayden Obituary

It's with great sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Daniel Alexander McFayden, 63, of Fort Frances, Ontario, on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 with his children and family by his side. Danny was born in Fort Frances on May 19, 1954 to Alexander and Margaret McFayden, joining his two older siblings Jack and Diane. After graduating from Fort Frances High School, he worked for more than 36 years in the Fort Frances Pulp & Paper Mill, retiring in 2011. Always the sportsman, Danny grew up excelling at hockey and baseball. Later, he began curling, spending many nights at the Fort Frances Curling Club. He also regularly enjoyed a round of golf at Kitchen Creek Golf Course. When not on the fairway, you could usually find Dan in his boat fishing or cruising up to Sand Point on Rainy Lake with a cooler full of Blue. Everyone who knew Danny knows he liked to have a good time and engage with all of those around him. His laugh was infectious and he was always the life of the party. Dan will be lovingly remembered by his son, Jeff McFayden (Heather) of Ottawa, Ontario, his daughter Tessa Egan (Shaun) of Fort Frances and his three grandchildren, Frances McFayden, Cruz and Hayden Egan. He will be sorely missed by his family, Jack and Teresa McFayden (Scott and Michelle), Diane and Ken Tetreault (Krista and Steve) and so many close friends he made here in Fort Frances and everywhere he went. To all of his friends and extended family, please join us to celebrate Danny's life at the Fort Frances Curling Club on Sunday, June 25th from 2pm - 4pm. A private family interment will be held at a later date. With his multiple battles with cancer, donations can be made in Dan's memory to the Canadian Cancer Society at www.cancer.ca. Thank you!
