Obituary of Brian David Fitzpatrick

Brian David Fitzpatrick was born on July 2nd, 1955 to Vivian James and Henrietta Mary (nee Greene) Fitzpatrick. Brian was the third eldest of his five(5) siblings. As a teenager, Brian could often be found on the neighboring courts of P.S. 35, playing basketball with his brothers as the three took on other neighborhood teams. The Fitzpatrick Brothers often won those games. Brian was an avid traveler who enjoyed new experiences. If you knew Brian, you would know that he was also a connoisseur of clothing.

He retired as a Superintendent from the NYC Metropolitan  Transit Authority after providing dedicated service for twenty-plus years. Brian then worked for Ford as a salesperson and Lowes as a supervisor. 

Anyone who knew our beloved Brian knows he always had a warm and welcoming smile, a kind word, and a quick wit as well as a love for cruising and travel. In addition, Brian was a very spiritual person and was an active participant with his church in every community that he lived in. He was a Deacon at this Church. To know Brian was to be assured of a true friend for life. Our hearts are heavy, but the memories and love are boundless.
