Lance Boroski Obituary

Boroski, Lance Michael
Lance Michael Boroski, 40, was born in Janesville, Wisconsin on April 20th, 1974, and moved to the East Valley when he was six years old. When he was 16, he started working for the family business, Fisher Shotcrete, Inc. The longevity of his career made him proudest when he could see his work withstand the test of time. His shotcrete work afforded him the opportunity to see and build across our great country, on his terms only - behind the wheel of his own truck and listening the music he loved. He had a curiosity and love for the natural world which he observed and marveled at closely, both the chaos and the calm. He mastered every sport he set his skills to and loved teaching his son just the same. His sweet, tender side gave him joy while having his hair done in ribbons and bows by his daughter. Lance's kindness, grace and humor has left his loved ones with great sadness for his loss, but with strength to be brave, just as he asked of them. Just as he was. Lance returned to the stars on July 26th, 2014 to watch over us all in peace. He is survived by his wife and children, Monique, Devon and Manya Boroski; his parents, Janice and Floyd R. Fisher, Sr. and Gary and Sue Boroski; his sisters and brothers, Laurel and Michael Mellett, Leslie and Stephen LeRoux, Scott and Pamela Fisher, Aime and Robert Trotman, Tammy Guilliams, Lea and Steven Clausing. He is preceded in death by brother, Floyd R. Fisher, Jr. His many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends will also hold their beautiful memories close and miss him dearly. A gathering to celebrate his life will be announced by his family at a later date in the fall. All messages of sympathy, love and light can be mailed to P.O. Box 445, Higley, AZ 85236.

Lance will always be one of the funniest and most quick-witted people I will have ever had the pleasure of knowing -- a true Boroski! His big heart proceeded him and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to know and spend time with him in our early adult years. May he rest in peace and his family be comforted by all of their favorite memories of him.
