Skylar had many joys in her life which included her love for a variety of music from The Beach Boys to Fall Out Boy. Skylar and her Dad attended many concerts together including the most recent being the American Roots Music and Arts Festival which included Cheryl Crow and Willie Nelson. Skylar and her Mom loved their trips to the book stores and Starbucks. Skylar was her brother's biggest fan always cheering him on at his games. Her creativity was shown through sketching and writing. One of Skylar's favorite things she loved to do was to visit NYC where she enjoyed all the sites, shopping and pizza.

At the age of 10, Skylar found her love for Tae Kwon Do. After 3 years of very hard work and dedication, she achieved her proudest moment which was earning her International Tae Kwon Do First Degree Black Belt. She was a great role model and mentor to the younger students.
She is survived by her parents, Jill & Sean Fitzpatrick; her younger brother, Ryan Fitzpatrick; her paternal grandparents; Dawn and Robert Fitzpatrick of Wappingers Falls, NY; godson, Colton Charles Miller of Peyton, CO; as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

In remembrance of Skylar, a special Koa Legacy tree will be planted in her name on the slopes of Mauna Kea as part of Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation. Her koa tree will never be harvested and its branches will offer a home to Hawaii's rarest birds. We think Skylar would have liked this. Aunt Betsy and Uncle George
