Kris Weythman

Kris Weythman, 70, of Wenatchee, passed away Monday, August 19, 2024. Kris was born in Wenatchee in the old Deaconess Hospital and was one of the last babies born in the hospital before it was decommissioned. He was a longtime Wenatchee Valley resident living most of his life here. Kris attended K-12 in the Wenatchee school district and graduated from Wenatchee High School. He was involved with the Wenatchee Youth Circus, along with his brother, Jim Weythman and sister, Roxanne (Weythman) O’Hair. Kris attended the Bethesda college/church in Monitor, where he met and married his wife of 36 years Valarie (Haynes) Weythman. He was heavily involved in the Bethesda church choir--not only singing, but also helping with staging, lighting, and sound. He traveled with the choir abroad, including to Israel and Germany. Kris was an electrician, going from journeyman to full-fledged electrical contractor, and eventually owning and running his own company, Kingdom Electric. In 1985, Kris took his family to the west side of the mountains, but they returned four years later, settling in Cashmere, in 1989. In 2017, Kris moved back to Wenatchee, coming full circle. Kris enjoyed many activities such as wood working, home projects, camping, fishing, fellowshipping over coffee or a meal with friends, and spending time with his family. He had a servant's heart helping wherever needed. Kris was preceded in death by his parents, Vernet and Betty; baby brother, George Weythman; wife, Valarie; in-laws, Jack and Laurel Haynes; brother, Gary Weythman; nephew, Grant Weythman; and sister, Roxanne (Weythman) O’Hair. Survivors include his brother, Jim Weythman of New Jersey; four children; eight grandchildren; and one great-grandchild: Rebecca Weythman and her children, Alex (Jessica) and daughter, Aria Weythman of East Wenatchee, Alicia Hastings, and Brittni Hastings also of East Wenatchee; Krista Weythman and her two daughters: Jayde and Shyanna Weythman of Wenatchee; Nikkole (Josh) and two sons: Caylen and Rhyder Sheehan of Arkansas; and Rylan (Sara) and son Walter Weythman of Pateros. A Memorial Service will be held at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at Sage Hills Church in Wenatchee.
