Isaiah Fisher Obituary

Isaiah William Fisher, Jr.

Matawan - On December 24, 2020, God required the soul of Isaiah William Fisher, Jr., age 64 to join Him and the angels in Heaven. Isaiah, fondly known as Ike or Ikey, was a kind and loving man. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word on the tip of his tongue. He loved music and dancing even more! He graduated high school in Neptune, NJ and entered the Army to serve during the Viet Nam War. He returned to New Jersey and shortly after started working at Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital. Ike was on the crisis team at Marlboro and many patients would request to talk with him when they were in need of help. In 1998, when MPH closed, Ike then began a career in Security. He last worked for Marion Security at Greenbriar in Marlboro. Ike was loved, valued, and is now dearly missed by all of those living in the Greenbriar Community. Isaiah was predeceased by his father, Isaiah Fisher, Sr., his mother, Barbara Jean Jones Fisher, his foster father, James Pierce, and his foster mother, Rose Pierce, and three Brother's Sonny, Hubie, and Eric. Isaiah is survived by his loving wife of twelve years, Michelle Gorman Fisher, his Son's Doug Fisher and Dane McClendon, his Brothers Larry Fisher and his Wife Mia, Gyse Pierce and his Wife Elizabeth, his Sisters Janet Watt and Nadine Hardy, his Mother in Law Carol Murren Gorman, his Brother in Law Patrick Gorman and his Wife Heather, his Sister in Law Carolyn Gorman Sousa and her Husband Manuel Sousa (BIL), many, many nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews, two fur babies, Sebastian and Finley, and more friends and neighbors, who loved him, than this obituary could accommodate! A Zoom service is to be scheduled within the next few weeks and a celebration of his life will take place in the late Spring or early Summer.
