For every 1LT Evan Fitzgibbon bracelet sold, proceeds will be donated to Wind River Ranch.
Evan was born November 10th, 1998, in Orlando, Florida, to John Patrick Fitzgibbon and Cynthia Renee Waller Fitzgibbon. He grew up with his older sister, Sophia Grace Fitzgibbon, in Windermere, FL; Evan attended his elementary and middle school years at Family Christian School and his high school years at Foundation Academy, where he first met the love of his life, Anna Judith Fabry. Evan proposed to Anna on April 16th, 2022, and they were waiting to set a wedding date once Evan completed Ranger School.
Ever since Evan was a young boy, he always dreamed of being a soldier for our great country; he aspired to attend West Point and go to Ranger School to be the best leader he could be. God opened that door for him on May 22nd, 2021 when he graduated from West Point. Evan branched Infantry and upon graduation, was stationed at Fort Benning where he completed the Stryker Leader Course and IBOLC. He was the Company commander of his Infantry Basic Officer Leader Course and began Ranger School on June 19th, 2022 with passion and excitement, as this was what he desired to do all his young life. Posthumously, Evan has been promoted to First Lieutenant and recognized as a Graduate of Ranger school.
Evan loved people deeply and lived life fully in his 23 years here on earth. He devoted much of his young life to his military aspirations in serving his country, but he also had many passions, talents, and gifts. He loved football, Civil Air Patrol, hunting, fishing, and music. Evan was a musician at heart and left us with many songs he created that we will forever treasure. Evan brought such joy to people in such a personal way and he will be dearly missed by all. Evan’s fun loving nature and sense of humor, his strong faith and love for God, his deep love of people, family, and friends, and his passion and dedication in serving his country will not be forgotten.
Evan is survived by the love of his life, Anna Judith Fabry, his mother and father, John and Cynthia Fitzgibbon, his sister, Sophia Fitzgibbon Reyes, his brother in law, Alberto Reyes, their daughters, his paternal grandmother Dianne Fitzgibbon, and maternal grandparents, Joseph and Norma Waller.
We never imagined all of his dreams being accomplished in this way, but one of Evan’s favorite scriptures is a testimony to this; Proverbs 21:31 says, “The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.”
