Michael Fisher, known by friends as Butch, and Booboo to his nieces and nephews passed away at Harbour Hospice in Duncanville on November 11, 2019 at the age of 75.

Butch broke his leg in early July of this year and had been in a rehab facility when he became gravely ill. His prognosis was a week to live, so he let his friends know and was surrounded by friends for the two weeks up until his death. He was peaceful during this time and kept his sense of humor throughout. The medical professionals who took care of him were very loving and thoughtful. Many times they commented on how many great friends he had and how everyone left smiling after seeing him because they were so used to tears after visiting someone so sick.

Butch is preceded in death by his father and mother, Dick and Freda Fisher and his sister, Loneta Schueble.

Butch is survived by his wife, Rita of 55 years and his son, Justin Cody Fisher and his brother, Richard Fisher.

Butch is lovingly remembered by his nieces and nephews; Richard K Fisher and wife, Lisa, Katrina Hilker and her husband, Michael, Joey Schueble and Summer and many more grand nieces and nephews.

Butch was born in Greenville, Texas on Oct 31, 1944. He graduated from Grand Prairie High School in 1962. He married the love of his life Oct 2, 1964 and they married all his life and lived in Waxahachie, Texas when he became ill.

He had a long career working for Delta Airlines from the time he graduated high school until he retired at the age of 65.

Butch loved the outdoors and was an avid camper. He liked dirt bikes and motorcycles . He was also a very good cook and most people knew him for his skills in the kitchen.

Butch was a faithful witness of Jehovah. He was baptized at the age of 13. He had many privileges of service in Jehovah's organization. He served as an elder in the local Christian Congregation in Waxahachie at the time of his passing. He had the priviledge of serving in oversight in the kitchen at District Conventions for many years. When he retired he served as a full time pioneer and was the Overseer of Food Service in the local RBC.

Our friends supplied us with food to feed our bodies, love to feed our heart and comfort for our mind. You all remain in our prayers.
