Michael "Bear" Fitzhenry, Jr.

Michael "Bear" Fitzhenry, Jr., 51, passed away on November 15, 2025. Born to Michael Fitzhenry, Sr. and Freda, Bear was a son, brother, uncle, and friend whose humor and big heart left a mark on everyone who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his father and all his grandparents. He leaves behind his mom, Freda Weber, and her husband; sisters Abby, Missy, and Brandy; brother Charlie; three brothers-in-law; three nieces, five nephews, two nephews-in-law, one niece-in-law, and three great-nephews, each of whom will miss him deeply.

Bear had a quick wit and a dark sense of humor that could make anyone laugh. He loved diving into epic fantasy novels and gaming, always chasing new worlds and adventures. He was also a talented baker. His Thanksgiving rolls were legendary and will be talked about for years to come.

His time here was far too short, but his laughter, kindness, and unique spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

A private memorial was held to celebrate his life.

"The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills, and the threads of our lives are woven into a pattern beyond our knowing."

May Bear's thread shine brightly in the Pattern forever.
