Florence – Bryce J. Fitzgerald, beloved son, grandson, brother, cousin, and friend, was taken suddenly on April 16, 2015. He made us smile and laugh until he was taken for a new adventure.
Bryce was born on January 25, 2002, to the joy and delight of his parents, Catrina Simpson and Kenny Fitzgerald, Jr. From the beginning, Bryce brought love and a touch of mischief to everyone he knew. He loved exploring, hunting, being outside on his dirt bike and 4-wheeler and just hanging out with Grandpa Curt.
Bryce had many fun experiences with his sister Aaliyah. He was protective of her and as she put it, “He wouldn’t let anyone pick on her but him.”
Bryce is loved and missed by many surviving family members. Bryce is survived by his mom, Catrina Simpson; sister, Aaliyah Vetch; sister, Makayla Oliver and Uncle Bransyn Simpson; his dad, Kenneth Fitzgerald, Jr. and step-mom, Stephanie Rice, and step-brother, Tony Romas. He is also survived by his grandparents on both sides: Curt Simpson, Jane Simpson, Mike and Sue Travers, great-grandparents: Carlton and Deanna Quamme, Dan Saunders, Maria Martinez, Sharon Hannah; and great-great-grandmother Pauline Burns-Stockton. Other surviving family members include uncles, Kory Fitzgerald and Dallas Peres; aunts Kim Fitzgerald Peres and Karrie Fitzgerald; and many other cousins, great aunts, great uncles and friends.
Bryce was preceded in death by Great-Grandma Peggy Simpson.
Bryce will be forever in our hearts. Have fun on your new journey, Buddy.
