Gary Fisher, age 81, of Tippecanoe Lake, Leesburg passed away surrounded by his family on October 11, 2024. Born on March 12, 1943, Gary lived a life rich in love and adventure, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered by those who knew him. He was born to Johnnie and Janet (Estep) Fisher on March 12, 1943. 

A dedicated farmer for many years, Gary demonstrated an unwavering work ethic that defined his career. In retirement, he delivered newspapers for The Papers. In 1962 he graduated from Syracuse High School and attended Tri-State University in Angola.

Gary proudly served his country and was honorably discharged from the Army National Guard. He had a profound passion for exploration, traveling to the Caribbean. Whether it was through sailing the waves or scuba diving in the depths of the ocean, Gary cherished every moment spent on or near the water. He also loved enjoying times on Tippecanoe Lake. He also enjoyed playing disc golf, a testament to his active lifestyle and love for outdoor activities.

He is survived by his ex-wife and close friend, Esther Fisher of Milford; children, Joshua (Nicky) Fisher of Leesburg, Dominic (Ranee) Fisher of Kendallville, John Fisher of Lakeville, Shawn Fisher of Maryland, Adam Fisher of South Bend, and Matthew Fisher of Michigan. His heart was filled with pride for his 19 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, who brought immense joy to his life. He is also survived by his sister Linda (Richard) Neff and brother Guy (Kris) Fisher, both of Syracuse.

Gary was preceded in death by his parent, daughter Jessica Rodriguez, grandson Gideon Rodriguez, and sister Vivian Mellinger.
