Gary Russell Fitzgerald

He was born October 24,1951 a son of the late Harvey Russell Fitzgerald and Marion Elizabeth (Atkins) Hall.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Dale Fitzgerald and a sister Diane Painter.

Gary lived a life defined by hard work, unwavering love for his family, and a deep connection to his community.

Gary spent his life in Waynesboro, where he built both a successful business and a life of meaning. He was known in his community as a steady presence and a loyal friend. Whether through his work, his hobbies, or simply the conversations he shared over the years, Gary left a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to know him.

Outside of work, Gary found joy in the outdoors. He was an avid hunter who cherished time spent in the woods, whether alone or with close friends and family. He also enjoyed quite mornings, a good cup of coffee, and the simple things in life that brought him peace.
