Robert Fitch Jr.
Funeral services were held last week for Robert Fitch Jr., who died Dec. 13 at his Saratoga home of a brain tumor. His family was with him at the end.
His mother, Shannon Fitch of Saratoga, said her son was healthy until the tumor was discovered in September. His illness progressed quickly.
A native of Virginia, Fitch lived in Saratoga for 38 of his 47 years. He graduated from Westmont High School and West Valley College and worked as a warehouse manager for AT&T. He was a skilled bass guitar player, playing with The Other Ones and other rock groups in the area, his mother said.
Fitch is survived by his parents, Robert Fitch Sr. and Shannon Fitch of Saratoga; his brother, Craig Fitch of Campbell; his sister, Melissa Fitch of Atascadero; his estranged wife, Deborah Jo Fitch, and their children, Michelle Fitch-Zambory, Lindsay Jo Fitch and Brent Robert Fitch; and his nephew, Robert Iwaskresich.
A funeral service was held Dec. 16 at the Alameda Family's Saratoga-Cupertino Funeral Home. A second service and interment were scheduled to take place in Iowa.
