Christopher Fitzhugh Obituary

The celebration of life for Christopher James Fitzhugh; Chris was born on May 22, 1970 in Douglas Arizona. He was the first born child to James and Toni Fitzhugh. He passed away at the age of 43 on October 8, 2013. Chris was loved my many, including, but not limited to his wife; Fawna, mother Toni, sister; Deedee, brother in law Bobby, his 3 children;  Mia, Ravin, and Izaiah, 3 step children; Leah, Gage, and Quintin, and his nieces and nephews; Kyra, Tony, Selina, Ceryna, and Sal. Chris lived a very full life, he was actively involved in Lodi's NA program and was very proud of his six year sobriety. Chris was also proud to be both a welder and truck driver by trade. He enjoyed people and loved surrounding himself with positive community. He will be missed for his great sense of humor, his contagious laugh, and his love for people. There will be a private viewing for Family on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 and an open memorial on October 20, 2013 at Faith Community Church at 2:30PM.  If your life was touched by Chris we encourage you to come and celebrate his life with fellow friends and family. Chris will be missed, but never forgotten. Though his physical being is no longer with us his spirit will forever linger in our hearts.

Kelly Leyba

October 21, 2013

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Man buddy I'm gonna miss you. Whether its the colorful conversations or the interesting messages you would leave on my voice mail, you would always make me crack up.
