Captain Jon Tegnell Passed Away Last Night
Jon Tegnell, 67, passed away last night in the 8:00 p.m. hour.
He had been living with Parkinson’s disease for 10 years.
Jon was a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard and served Washington State Ferries for 30 years — most of that time as Captain — by the time of his retirement in 2017.
Jon is survived by his wife Donna Tegnell, one daughter, two sons, two daughters-in-law, three grandchildren, two brothers, a sister-in-law, an uncle, an aunt, and several cousins.
Arrangements are pending.
CNL2 is currently writing more based on a conversation this morning with Donna. We will add more to this story throughout the day.
