Obituary of John Gordon Fitton

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Gordon Fitton on January 22, 2023 in his 77^th year. John died peacefully with his family by his side at Grand River Hospital after a long, hard-fought battle with liver disease.

Husband for nearly 50 years to Debbie (nee McGoey) Fitton. Father of Kathryn, Steven, and Allan (Beth). Grandfather to Andrew and Gordon. John is also survived by his sister Connie Roadknight (Bill predeceased), brother Bill Fitton, as well as many nieces and nephews.

John was born in Guelph to Gordon and Mary Fitton. He lived in Kitchener for the last 50 years where he was a General and Life Insurance Broker, also for 50 years. John was exceptionally kind and loved spending time with his family. He enjoyed summers at the cottage at Sauble Beach. All the way up until the end, John always kept up with the news, and enjoyed a good movie or TV show.
