GARTH NICHOLAS HOLLINGSWORTH FITZNER
June 5, 1964- October 27, 2018
Cardston, Alberta
It is with sadness that we announce the return of Garth Fitzner to his heavenly home on October 27th, after a prolonged struggle with cancer.
Garth will be very missed. He leaves behind his wife Joanne Fitzner (nee Robinson) and their little girl Rebekah, and his four grown children Justin, Sam, Amanda, and Victoria.
He is survived by his 6 siblings, Mike, Chris, Sally, Jeff, Tim, and Kurt, and his mother Elayne. He is predeceased by his father Reinholt.
Garth loved to dream up big ideas, and enthusiastically shared his passion for his projects with those around him. He spent his youth looking up at the stars and nurtured his fascination of space in his children. Garth was involved in scouting for 30+ years as a youth, a leader and a trainer. He received many awards, but he would have said his best accomplishments were acting as a District Commissioner for Beaver Hills and building the youth leadership courses that were beloved in the Northern Lights Council. Through these events alone, he changed the lives of hundreds of youth and leaders. He always looked for ways to reach out to others. Even as he battled with illness, he continued to reach out to youth and leaders within the Baden Powell Service Association, by working on their social media sites and designing policy.
Garth was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He had a strong testimony of the gospel, and his life was a powerful example of his faith in its teachings. He was a dedicated family history researcher, eager to help others unearth their own genealogy. His efforts gave many of those already passed on the opportunity to accept sacred covenants done on their behalf.
Garth was also probably the best laser tag player you’ve ever seen.
Above all, he was an incredible husband and father. Garth achieved many things in the short time he had, but his family was his number one passion. He was dedicated to his children and his wife. It was his greatest joy to learn he would become a father again in his later life.
After Garth’s wishes, a private family ceremony to celebrate his life was held on Saturday, November 3.
