Gary was born in Atchison, KS on July 13, 1939, to Elmer and Luella (Fleiner) Fitzpatrick. He married Mary Pentlin on April 17, 1993.

Gary was a well-loved and remarkable man, leaving behind a beautiful legacy filled with family, faith, and hard work. His dedication to his community, and his personality touched so many lives.
Gary attended Atchison area public schools and had a long-lasting career working in the Construction and Laborers Union No. 264 for 47 years.

After his union retirement he discovered his passion for cattle farming.
He had a deep love for western films. His signature look—bibbed overalls and suspenders—was as much a part of him as his fun spirit. He was known for his quick wit and sharp humor, always ready with a joke that would send everyone into fits of laughter.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Fitzpatrick of the home; his children, Charlotte Fitzpatrick, Karen (David) Hunt, Rachel (Richard) Hardman, Sheila (Jammie) Fitzpatrick-O'Connor, Matthew Stielow, Cynthia (Burton) Gordine, brothers, Howard and Walter Fitzpatrick, daughter in law Vicky Fitzpatrick, sixteen grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

Gary is preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Dixie Lyn Fitzpatrick, son Jeffrey Fitzpatrick; great-grandson, Colsen Zbierski and six siblings, Annie Bledsoe, Sharon Fitzpatrick, Victor Fitzpatrick, Linda Lavaco, David Fitzpatrick, and Rebecca Goodpasture.

Gary's memory will live on in the stories, traditions, and love he shared.
