He leaves to cherish his memories: his wife, Minnie Fisher; 2 daughters, Sharon and Kimberly Fisher; stepdaughter, Mercedes Kuykendall; 11 grandchildren; one great granddaughter, Lauren; sister-in-law, Irma “Nell” Iles (Nelson), and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

“For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,

than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.” -Psalm 84:10
