Sean Fitzpatrick Obituary

Fitzpatrick, Sean Francis
Sean Fitzpatrick, age 36 of Lowell Michigan, passed away on Friday, December 22nd of 2023. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Frank and Norma Fitzpatrick and Tom Nagy.

Sean graduated from Lowell High School and later pursued his education at Grand Rapids Community College and Colorado State University. He joined the U.S. Air Force and carried out a majority of his service at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado, including an active-duty tour to Saudi Arabia. A high point of his career was doing security detail for Air Force One. He enjoyed his job at the United States Postal Service in Lowell, where he developed many lasting friendships with coworkers.

I only knew Sean for a short time. We worked together on a few roofing projects. I admired his constant positive attitude and eagerness to learn new skills. He will be missed. He was a good person.

I am so saddened to hear of Sean´s death. We did not keep in touch, but I went to high school with him and he was always so much fun and very kind, and a great runner on the XC team. Rest in peace, Sean.
