OHIO – Allan J. Fitzpatrick, age 67, of Ohio, died Saturday, August 24, 2019, at Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton following a motorcycle accident.

He was born January 31, 1952, in Dixon, the son of Bernard and Charlotte (Goy) Fitzpatrick.

Allan was a truck driver for Double D Express in LaSalle from 1989 until his retirement in 2014. He enjoyed spoiling his wife and grandchildren, making sure they had plenty to eat. He made us laugh every day with his unique wit and humor. He was a proud man, but private. He loved his animals, both the ones indoors and all those outdoors. He took great pride in his yard and making it look beautiful through many hours of hard work and sweat. He married Betty Gibb November 27, 1971.

He is preceded in death by his father; and two brothers, Mark and Paul Fitzpatrick. Allan is survived by his wife, Betty; two children, Anthony (Heather) Fitzpatrick of Brookfield, and Heather Lance of Dixon; three grandchildren, Kallyn and Karys Lance, and Stephen Fitzpatrick; his mother of Dixon; sister, Nancy (Dave) Durnen of Amboy; two brothers, Gerald (Kathy) Fitzpatrick of Sun Prairie, WI, and Joseph Fitzpatrick of Dixon; sister-in-law, Rachael Fitzpatrick of Ohio.
