MICHAEL MATTHEW FITZGERALD

Michael Matthew Fitzgerald, born September 2, 1962 in Solingen, Germany, passed away on Friday, February 6, 2026 in Winnipeg, MB after a courageous battle with illness. He was 63 years old. He was predeceased by both parents, Michael and Frances Fitzgerald.

Mike was the youngest of four siblings, Maryam Doucette (Carl) of Calgary, AB, Kimberly Wilcox (Marty) of St. Albert, Edmonton and Frederick Fitzgerald (Joan) of Winnipeg, MB. He is survived by his wife, Sherill and daughters, Hailey, and Taylor and many nieces and nephews.

Mike was known for his unwavering dedication to his family. He was kind, generous and compassionate. Mike’s passing left a void in the lives of his family, friends and to so many who had the privilege of knowing him. He lived true to his values and was most proud of being a father and a husband.

Mike moved to Winnipeg right after high school and started his career in the petroleum industry that spanned over 40 years. His strong work ethics was known to his peers. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, golfing on weekends, and took leisure drives in his corvette. He showed his remarkable workmanship doing his home renovations and made time to play his guitar. We ask you remember him for the way he lived - bold and without fear.

Cremation has taken place and no memorial service to follow. The Celebration of Life will be held this summer.
