We sadly announce the passing of  Loren "Grampy" Fisher, born on January 13, 1960, and passed away on December 28, 2024. Known to many as Grampy and Lorney (Pete Jackson)  he forever will be remembered as a man of character, patience, and kindness. 

Loren was predeceased by his father, Lawrence Fisher, his  mother, Esther Fisher, and his sibling, Eileen Williams survived(Daryl Williams) nephews Jason  Reimer(Karmyn)  Jeff Reimer(Crista). He is survived by his former wife /special friend, Janet O'Shields, his children; Justin Fisher (location unknown), Alec Azim (Kori Azim) Derby, KS, and Angela Haas,  grandchildren Autumn Burwell, Tanner Haas, and Mikayla Haas, Salina, KS.  Loren will be fondly remembered by his brother Doug Fisher from Newton, KS.  There are ones that were special to him and played a big part in his life  Paul and Marie O'Shields, Ardmore, OK ; Gary and Karol Fike , Manhattan, KS; Jeff Hammer and Caren Bachman Salina, KS; Francis and Carmen Flax Salina, KS; Roy Lawrence Salina, KS; Denise Tappendick  Salina, KS; Jim and Tamra Johnson Lindsborg, KS; Pete Jackson Enterprise, KS,  Kim Shields Lincolnville, KS. , and Mary Mahoney and Chuck Hawke of Kansas City. There are a numerous of USA Softball Umpires and Coaches that Loren thought alot about.

Known for his peaceful nature, Loren was an independent spirit who found great joy and peace in his faith, knowing Jesus as his Lord and Savior.  He loved any place with a buffet, particularly if he had an Orange Sunkist to pair with his meal. A lover of Jeremy Camp's music and a  supporter of the Kansas State Wildcats, Oklahoma Sooners and Kansas City Chiefs, Loren also prominently supported and loved USA Softball with his whole heart.

Before his major heart failure in 2014, Loren liked going on walks as his preferred form of exercise. He was a generous man, regularly contributing to the Salina Food Bank. With a fondness for the color Red, it was a clear representation of his personality — patient, peaceful, and independent, with a love for God.  Loren lived the past 10 years with a 35% heart but lived as if it was 100%. 

Loren's legacy is marked by his remarkable accomplishments, serving as the President of USA Softball and the Kansas Fastpitch Director. He was a man who believed in the importance of completion, in being a giver, and sharing what you have with others — a testament to the life he lived.

In the wake of Loren's passing, we invite everyone to remember him for the man he was. A celebration of Loren's life will be held on January 26, 2025, at 12:00 PM at The Salina Fieldhouse. In lieu of flowers, funds are being raised for "Celebration of Life" at https://everloved.com/life-of…

Grampy will be missed, but his spirit and the lessons he shared will forever remain within us.
