Faron Fritz was born Sept. 11, 1979, in Maquoketa. He was the son of Faron Fritz and Mary Ann Boge. He is a 1999 graduate of Anamosa High School. On Aug. 11, 2007, Faron and Cathy Baumler were united in marriage at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Anamosa. Faron was currently working for Ricklefs Construction in Anamosa. He loved John Deere Tractors, snowmobiling, four wheeling, hunting, Caterpillar machinery, and being outdoors; but thing he treasured most was the time he got to spend with his daughter, wife, family and friends. He will be dearly missed by those closest to him.
