At Baylor, he met and married Lauralea Irwin. They moved to New York, and later to Washington D.C. where he taught at Gallaudet College. They had four children and remained married until her death in 1988. Fant later married Barbara Bernstein, and was married to her until his death in Seattle of pulmonary fibrosis.
