He was Knighted by Sir Henry Sidney in 1566.

He died on July 3, 1579 ‘from the disease of the country’ caught during an expedition into Longford and was buried on September 21 in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin beside his wife Anne as he had requested.
In his will made 5 years before he died, he left Edward his eldest son all his lands and goods on condition that Edward paid off all his father’s debts and gave £400 to each of his unmarried sisters, whom he was to maintain until their marriages. Edward Fitton was also to continue all existing annuities, to give his brother William 20 marks a year more than his annuity while at an inn of court, and to maintain his youngest brother Francis first at a good grammar school and a university until the age of 18 or 20, then at an inn of chancery for two years, and finally at an inn of court for a further seven. If Edward Fitton were to stand by the will he was to be its executor, but if he were to break any part of it , the goods were to be divided among his younger brothers and two thirds of the lands used to maintain his sisters, and to pay off debts.
