Timothy Wilson FitzGerald, affectionately known to his friends as "Fitz”, passed away peacefully at his daughters home on February 7th, 2020, after a sudden diagnosis of aggressive Stage 4 lung cancer. Timothy was born in Washington D.C. on March 18, 1949. He was a self-taught scholar, an avid reader and a devoted catholic. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, telling stories of his many “near-death experiences”, engaging in deep intellectual conversations, and fasting in the Sespe. He will be terribly missed. Arrangements are under the direction of Joseph P. Reardon Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 757 East Main Street, Ventura.
