Arthur Earl Fabritiis was born on August 19, 1943 in Riverside, New Jersey and went to his eternal home on March 21, 2025 in Melbourne, Florida. He was the beloved son of Anne Donatiello Fabritiis and Orlando Earl Fabritiis. Art was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on this earth was one marked by love and unwavering faith in God. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him. We remember him not for the way his life ended, but for the way it was lived, and for the profound impact it had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
He is survived by his loving wife Davidina (Davina); his brother Edward Fabritiis; sister Donna Kane; son Steven Arthur Fabritiis; daughter Jeanne Catherine Fabritiis; and grandsons John Thomas Fabritiis and Ryan Fabritiis.
Art always was on a mission to spread the message of love and hope that only Jesus Christ can provide whether at a local eatery, beach evangelism or walking the sidewalks wherever. Over the years, he made multiple mission trips to places like the Ukraine, Poland, Haiti, Peru, South America and other exotic locations, such as Palm Bay’s Hammock Landing bus stop. His dedication to his faith and his desire to bring light to those in need epitomized his joyful and generous nature. Outside of his missionary work, Art found joy traveling the open road with his beloved wife Davina as they journeyed back to her ancestral home of Ireland, to botanical gardens on the various journeys to see family in Connecticut, the Billy Graham Training Center (The Cove) in North Carolina, and spiritual family retreats.
He was a superb athlete who excelled at running. He competed in and completed many marathons in New York and Boston. He also was in involved in youth sports as a referee for both soccer and lacrosse.
Art was man of diverse interests he loved listening to Pastor Joe Foche as he rode in the car as he motored about town. He was a dedicated volunteer at the Brevard County Library. Although it would seem like Art was a very busy man, he always had time to talk with and all about peoples’ eternal salvation which was his greatest passion.
Those who knew Art will remember him for his mischievous grin, his deep-rooted faith in Jesus, and his unwavering commitment to spreading love and kindness to everyone he encountered. He had a rare gift for making others smile and laugh, leaving a lasting impact on all who crossed his path. It can honestly be said that he never met a stranger, just a friend whose name he had not learned.
The Celebration of Life service to honor the life of Arthur Fabritiis will be held on April 12, 2025 at Calvary Chapel Eau Galle, 1591 Highland Ave., Melbourne, Florida, 32935 at 10:00am.
Although Art’s physical presence may no longer grace our lives, his spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May his memory be a blessing, and may we carry forth his legacy of love in all that we do. Art, as you continue to worship Jesus in Heaven, your light will forever shine brightly in our hearts.
