Tim Fitzgerald
d. April 15, 2025
Tim Fitzgerald , age 69 of Eminence, passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, while surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with a rare neurological condition. Born in Owen County on October 21, 1955 to the late Malcolm & Annie Bea (Bibb) Fitzgerald, he was the youngest of the four Fitzgerald boys. A lifelong resident of Henry County, Tim graduated from Eminence High School and continued his passion for farming alongside his family. In 1977, he married Vickie, the love of his life. Tim dedicated 25 years of service to the City of Eminence, proudly working for the community he held so dear. Tim’s wit was matched only by his heart—he remembered, not just names, but the people behind them and the stories they carried. He enjoyed camping, traveling and attending car shows. A true classic car enthusiast, Tim loved cruising town in his 1972 Chevelle. His most cherished moments were spent with his beloved wife of 48 years, their two daughters, sons-in-law, and four grandchildren. He leaves with them a legacy of hard work, resilience, and unwavering devotion to family.
