To my dear teacher and friend Mr. Scott Fitzgerald; Sorry this is long overdue. 
It was a pleasure being in your auto body class and it was great to know you as the most lack back teacher I knowed. Somehow he knows what he was doing and was very patient and very kind. I was probably was one of is most interesting students. Your son Parker was a wonderful friend reminds me of you. For the two years I spent in auto body class it was fun and hard and you always were the funniest teacher I like and I was always nice to stop by the auto body area of school when I used to visit. Around three years ago I end up stopping by the auto body I saw the garage of it open up. I saw Fritz of one of kids there and it was nice to see not much has changed. Me and Fritz end up talking and catching up and I was going overseas the next day I was ask him if he wanted me to bring anything back from my trip. He wanted one of those Arab Scarfs. I gave him one before I graduated in 2009. He was pretty happy and excited when gave him those scarfs over two years ago. It was pleasure knowing you and you were inspiring to others like myself  to make an impact those who you work with and as a human being. 
Your amazing one of a kind student.

Mr. Fitzgerald was the best teacher I had. My brother was in his classes as well and both are very saddened and he will always be in our prayers. Heaven gained an angel. 

Best teacher I ever had also the greatest man i've ever met and pushed me to do better and to succeed he will be missed by his 2019 class lots of love 

When I received the text message of Mr. Fitz obituary today, it was as if I all of a sudden couldn't comprehend what I was reading and looking at.  My last encounter with Mr. Fitz was February 2017 when I asked him if he would feel comfortable preparing a character reference letter for me.  He has always been a reference for any job I decided to apply for.  I'm still in a state of shock like this can't be true.  Mr. Fitz, Mr. O'Brien, and Mr. Alvey were my 3 father like figures in high school as I didn't have my father present and although Mr. Fitz may not be my exact father, it feels as though I lost of special part of him too.  Many of us los a special part of him.  Parker and family, I love you guys and thank you for sharing a wonderful spirited man with us.  I can say that Mr. Fitz was a well like and respected person, he was encouraging, inspiring, and motivating in what he would say.  He was a leader and presented his best self at all times in front of us students.  I didn't have him as a teacher, but him and Mr. Alvey came into my drafting class and had lunch with Mr. O'Brien on many occasions. Sometimes I stayed behind for my lunch just to chat with them.  All of the Fitz family members just hang in there, keep pressing forward because I'm willing to bet that Mr. Fitz would want the same, and also, just be there for one another, especially your mom.  She needs all the support.  My heart cries out for you all and it isn't easy to type this.  Had I known about Mr. Fitz passing and funeral sooner I would have been there, I understand that you all had a lot going on at the time.  Just know that I am here for you and Parker has my number.  Hang in there forever and always and God Bless.

We lost a great friend teacher and mentor but we gained a new shining star in the heavens.

Lori, Parker, Madeline, Frankie, Sebastian, Frances, Katherine, Paula and family Mary and  family, Bill and family- I have had many fond memories of Scott over the past 35 years. He always had a way of making me laugh and smile as I know he did for all. He was like a brother to me and those fond memories will long out live the sadness that I have right now. May our Heavenly Father watch over Scott. My love to all as you suffer through the loss of your beloved husband, loving son and treasured brother.

Think about you all everyday.  Lori and Scott were a huge part of my high school years and beyond.  Prayers to you especially today.  May the wonderful memories live on...

My son had the pleasure of having him as his major teacher last year and this year.  Then my daughter had him as her elective class this year he taught them both so much.  He will deeply be missed by both of my kids.  RIP Mr. Fitz.

Fitzy was an amazing and sweet guy. An awesome teacher and friend. He wasn't a strong, sincere and amazing person who was so kind and giving. You will be missed but we will see you again soon. We love you. Rhi and ben Murray 

We are so sorry to hear of Fitz's passing. He was a wonderful person and a great friend to all of the staff members and students at SECTA as well as everyone else who knew him. The Fitzgerald family is in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Fitzgerald family. I gotten to know Scott while our sons played baseball at GVHS. God Bless

Scott was simply one of the coolest, most mellow guys you could ever have hoped to meet. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He will be missed dearly, I can't imagine school without him. My thoughts are with his loved ones.

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. May the wonderful treasures fill your hearts with love and bring you peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Hosea 13:14 

I had the pleasure of working with this wonderful man during the three years I taught Graphic Design at SECTA. What an amazing man who was always helpful, friendly, and smiling! His passion for teaching and his family always showed in the many of times we talked. I was so sadden to hear of his passing, not only because of how great of a person he was, but because my son who was just accepted to SECTA for his program. Now my son will never have the chance to experience the wonderful gift Scott gave to so many....which was his teaching! I will truly miss you my friend!

Mr. Fitz was my shop teacher till I switched  to construction at SECTA , Fitz had a great sense of humor and just a  welcoming aura. He  a great mentor and an even more exceptional man. You wok be missed. Thank you for  memories.~Nikcei

Scott and I started our teaching careers together at SECTA back in 1998. He was one of the 1st friends I made when I moved to Las Vegas. We used to go to lunch together on Staff Development Days. The love he had for his family was so real and pure. I will always be thankful for the friendship he showed me. Rest In Peace, my friend. xo Liz 

I first met Mr Fitzgerald as a student of his at VoTech High School. Mr Fitz was always one of the highlights of my day as he was the true definition of someone who was not only a mentor but a friend to me and many of us in his class. I still remember how he would never allow me to call him by his first name until I graduated. As luck would have it I had the pleasure of working with his amazing wife Lori who I not only consider a colleague but a friend. When Scott approached me one day while visiting Lori at work after not seeing me for years and well after graduation it was now I who wouldn't allow myself to call him anything but Mr. Fitz. I am saddened to hear of his passing and have Lori and all Mr. Fitz friends and love ones in my prayers. 

I watched many baseball practices and games with Scott. Our boys played ball together and he was so supportive of my boys! He was the real deal, a true friend a family man that adored his wife and loved his children! He touched many lives and will live on through his family and al those who crossed his path!! Love and prayers to the Fitzgerald family!!

I went to high school with Scott. He was a great guy that loved cars. I went back to the school to visit him a few times. Fitzs you will be missed.

I didn't know Mr.Fitz for long but with the time that I had him as my auto collision teacher it felt like I knew him for many years. When I heard of his passing my friends and I were devastated, we couldn't believe that he was gone. We'll miss you Mr.Fitz!!

I had Mr Fitz for Auto Collision he was a great person and one of the best teachers I have ever had and was one of the reasons I looked forward to coming to school and he will be deeply missed
