Maurice Edgar Fite Obituary

Maurice Fite was born April 23, 1935, to Aure and Roma (Searl) Fite. Maurice spent his whole life on the ranch. He loved fishing, hunting, pontooning, farming, and putting up hay. Most of all he loved spending time with his family.

Maurice was a very talented person who could fix anything or build anything. Who else could take a fire escape and turn it into a slide?! He was a generous person and was always willing to help a friend or neighbor or anyone else that might need a helping hand.

Survivors include his son Bryon (Tina) Fite of White Owl and daughter Vona (Todd Sieler) Fite of Wall; five grandchildren: Tracey Fite (Maurice Vocu), Casey (Arissa) Cuny, Lukus Fite, Kenda (Austin) Carroll, and Trenton (Emma Michael) Cuny; nine great-grandchildren: Tilden, Andi, Bridger, Myca, Braxton, Lynlee, Helen, Maurice, Ramona, and Nova; and a host of other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife Vickie on February 22, 2024; his parents; siblings: Margie Levi, Vernely Fite, Aurealuiss Fite, Zola Riggins, Darlene Percy, Glenn Fite, Leslie Fite, and Barbara Diver; an angel daughter, great-grandson and great-granddaughter who all passed away at birth.

I am sure they are dancing in heaven to their favorite country song!

Memorial services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 29, 2024 at the Kadoka Bible Church in Kadoka with a visitation one hour prior.
