Michael P.D. Fenton

Michael P.D. Fenton, 32, of Ipswich, passed away Saturday, December 18, 2021 at Holy Family Hospital in Methuen from complications after surgery.

Born in Beverly on April 7, 1989 he was the son of Sharon A.

He was known by all his teammates to be a team player and was passionate about sports. He later completed his college career at the University of Maine, Orono with a Bachelors in Political Science.

Mike had a successful career in Financial Services for TD Bank and Salem Five Bank. He switched careers and moved to FIS Global where he worked in sales. Mike was known for his hard work and dedication to his customers. He will be remembered by all for his infectious smile and good humor. He was always willing to help with any task, big or small. For the last few years Mike and Megan enjoyed traveling and going on numerous adventures. Mike liked nothing better than cannonballing his nephews in the pool, and sometimes people didn’t enjoy his enthusiasm. He always looked forward to cooking with his soon to be father-in-law, Paul.
