Michael Fisher Obituary
Michael A. Fisher, 57, of Milan died November 5, 2025. Michael was born January 10, 1968 in Moline, the son of Franklin and Etta (Miller) Fisher.
Michael grew up attending Gospel Temple Hope Church, where he discovered his love for music. He began singing with the Sunshine Kids and, at age 16, started his DJ career. Over the years, he became one of the area’s most popular DJs and KJs. His passion for music led him to become the lead singer of his own band, 4th & 20, which he started in 2008.
Michael is survived by his loving family, Lea Greene, Jesse (Emily) Greene, Ty Greene, and Tristi Greene, seven grandchildren, and his niece Patches Fessel, whom he lovingly raised after his sister’s passing. He is also survived by his chosen brothers Rich Fuller and Jimmy (Michelle) Sappington. He will be remembered for his love of family, music, and his caring spirit that touched everyone who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Brenda.
Cremation rites have been entrusted to Schilling Funeral Home & Cremation, in Sterling, IL.
