He was born on June 25, 1969, in Pasadena, Texas. He was the loving father of Cydney Jean Fite. Additionally, he is survived by his parents, Gerald and Sandra (Deeter) Fite, his twin sister, Somer Fite, his brother and wife, Dustin and Stasia (Kenney) Fite, his neices, Savanna Valdez and Bella Fite, his nephews, Jace and Jett Koester, his girlfurend, Ashley Robles, and many other family members. Coby graduated from Dobson High School in Mesa, Arizona in 1987. Shortly thereafter, he joined the United States Navy. Coby attended Aviation Electrician School in Millington, Tennessee. He was then stationed at Whidbey Island in Washington State. He worked on A-3’s, A-4’s, and A-6’s. After two years of devoted service, Coby developed Type 1 diabetes and was Medically and Honorably discharged from the Navy. He proudly served from 1989 to 1991. Upon his return to Arizona, he continued to work as an electrician in various capacities, until he was determined to be fully disabled. In 1996, Coby became the proud father of Cydney Jean Fite. In his spare time, Coby enjoyed riding motorcycles to eastern Arizona, Taos, New Mexico and the Laughlin River Run. He later moved to Prescott, Arizona, where he bought his beautiful home. His home was truly his castle where he spent all of his time with family, friends, and his beloved pets, Trevor, Otis and Custer. Coby loved spending time outdoors in his garden, mowing his lawn and that of his neighbors, planting flowers, trees, and shrubs, and decorating his yard with his silly ceramic frogs. Most of all, Coby loved his Denver Broncos. He always wore either a ball cap or shirt depicting his love of the Broncos, and on game-day, he flew his Denver Bronco flag high in the air. Coby left behind a legacy that included his unselfish devotion to family, friends, or anyone that crossed his path and needed his help. He will be forever missed and our hearts will always be fuller from having him in our lives. “Be strong and take courage, do not fear nor be afraid, for the One who lives within you, will be strong in you today”. A memorial service will be held Monday, November 21, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. at the Prescott National Cemetery. Flowers may be sent to Ruffner-Wakelin Funeral Home, 303 S. Cortez St., Prescott, AZ 86303.
