Rochelle Fitch (known to most simply as “Fitch”) was born September 6, 1953 in Lafayette, Louisiana to parents Grace Richmond-Fitch and Rochelle Madison, both whom preceded him in death. Fitch was the third oldest of 6 siblings. When the family relocated to Dallas, Texas, Fitch completed primary school and then moved to Houston, Texas in 1968 to reside with his Uncle and Aunt (Levi and Willie Mae Liggins). There he attended and graduated from Jack Yates Senior High School, Class of 1972. Fitch went on to attend Texas Southern University-Houston, TX.
In 1976, Fitch began nine years of employment as a Reprographics Manager at M.W. Kellogg Company. There he met and later married, Mary Brenda Twitty, gaining a son Terrell J. Twitty which he raised as his own, and together in 1979, they had a daughter, Tana. Fitch would later become employed with Exxon Company, USA in 1990 as a Royalty Owner Account Specialist.
In 2004, nephew Percy (Gerard) Davis moved from Dallas to Houston to live with his “Uncle Fitch”. Fitch dedicated himself to providing loving guidance to Percy, while instilling positive values & providing supportive life experiences to Percy who, more often than not, he referred to as his son. Fitch was so very proud to see these efforts come to fruition in Percy’s adult life.
Fitch married his loving wife, Tammy Holliman, in 2006. With this union, a family was blended with the addition of his daughters, Tifani and Tiara.
Fitch dedicated 19 years of service to Exxon Company before retiring in 2009. In his retirement, he continued to enjoy his hobbies of fishing, hunting, cooking for his family and most importantly... rooting for The Dallas Cowboys! His love of a well-manicured lawn, easily led to the formation of R. Fitch & Company in 2010. In 2012, Fitch decided to return to the Oil & Gas industry, joining the Occidental Petroleum Corp. family-Greenway Plaza.
Rochelle Fitch leaves behind his loving wife of nearly twelve years (Tammy Fitch), three daughters, (Tana, Tifani, Tiara), two sons (Terrell, Percy), two grandsons, (Khyri Raymond, Rakim White), one brother (George “Buddy” Fitch), four sisters (Rosalie Henderson, Una Mallard, Pearl Madison, Lucille Madison, and their spouses and children), one great aunt (Gretta Atkinson) & many other cherished family and extended family members, colleagues, and devoted friends too numerous to name.
