Michael John

Fitzpatrick

Michael John Fitzpatrick, age 70, passed away peacefully at his home in Newnan, Georgia on October 30, 2026.

Born March 30, 1956, on a military base in Munich, Germany, Mike was the son of the late John and Fay Fitzpatrick. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Kevin Fitzpatrick. He is survived by his wife, Georgia Lee Fitzpatrick, son, Michael Lee Fitzpatrick, brother, Tim Fitzpatrick, and sister, Kelley Bogus.

Mike was proud of his alma mater, University of Dayton, and kept close ties with his Ohio friends. It was in Ohio that Mike worked as a salesperson and became interested in the car business. His goal was to have his own store. Mike moved his family to Newnan and opened Mike Fitzpatrick FLM of Newnan in September of 1996. He loved becoming a part of the community, and his support can be found all over the county. He took great pride in starting the Student Athlete of the Week program and awarded plaques each semester until he passed. Apart from the car business, Mike was an avid reader, a lover of plants and wildlife, and a tremendous sports fan. He played basketball and tennis at the Summit YMCA until the ibuprofen no longer served him. When he could no longer play himself, he never missed a ballgame or tennis match.

Despite Mike’s extensive community support and presence, he was a private man. He passed as he wished, at home with his wife and son.

There will be no service at this time.
