Donald J. Fenton , Jr.

Donald Jerome Fenton, Jr. of Plainfield, Illinois, passed away unexpectedly on November 28, 2024, while attending the Packer/Dolphin game in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Donald was born on October 3,1972, in Elmhurst, IL, to Donald J. Fenton, Sr. and Ann Marie Fenton (nee Cieslak). Like his father, Donald Fenton, Sr., he was a remarkable salesperson, blending charm and skill effortlessly. Outside of work, Donald was a passionate lover of good cuisine, music, movies, and sports, who lived for live entertainment. A true Chicago ‘north-sider’, he celebrated the Cubs’ 2016 World Series win and like many, carried a good-natured rivalry with the White Sox. Don’s “north star” was his son Donald III or D3 or Little Donnie, as Donald was Big Donnie around the house. The bond they shared for good food, sports, movies, concerts and sending each other goofy memes was unbreakable. Donald cherished the family he built with Denise, Donald III, Hayden and their dogs Bosa and Brady. His impact on the world was profound, and those who met him will not soon forget him. Donald was “One of a Kind”. Donald is survived by his son, Donald J. Fenton III, his partner in life Denise Fenton and her daughter Hayden, his brother Richard Fenton (Andrea Waltz), sister Karen Cooke (Michael), nieces Angelina Sedlak, Allasandra Marini (Bryon), Aubrianna Resler (Jonathan), and his son’s mother, Samantha Lorenzo (Anthony). He was preceded in death by both his mother and father.
