Stanley Walter Fisher

They say legends aren't born - they're built. And if you ever met Stanley Walter Fisher, 67, of Grosvenor, Texas, you'd know that was true. On October 10, 2025, the good Lord called him home, probably because Heaven needed someone who could fix a fence, mend a heart, and make everyone laugh - all before lunch.
Stanley came into this world on November 26, 1957, in Brownwood, Texas, born to Walter and Mary Fisher - two good folks who had no idea they were raising the toughest, kindest cowboy God ever made.
He met the love of his life, Karen Joyce Koen, back in high school when she moved to Bangs. It didn't take long before that cowboy charm roped her in. They married the summer after she graduated - three days before she turned 18 - and spent the next decades raising four kids: Robin, Tami, Kelsey, and Logan, who all grew up knowing their daddy could fix anything, outwork anyone, and love without limits.
Stanley was stronger than a mesquite root and tougher than boot leather, but he had a heart as soft as fresh hay. He didn't care a lick for fancy things or praise - he'd give you his last dollar, the shirt off his back, or his time (which was worth more than both). He worked hard, loved harder, and lived his faith with a quiet certainty that made everyone around him stand a little taller.
Folks say if you listen close enough, you can still hear the sound of his hammer, his laughter, or maybe his truck rolling down a dirt road somewhere between the farm and home.
He was a faithful member and elder of High Mesa Cowboy Church, where his prayers were short, his faith was steady, and his handshake said more than most men's words. His pastor and neighbor, Todd King, wasn't just a friend - he was a brother. They shared a bond of faith, laughter, and a lifetime of helping each other.
He leaves behind his beloved wife, Karen, and their children - Joe and Robin Fisher Johnson, Cody and Tami Fisher Clark, Kelsey Fisher Harris and Stoney Harris, and Logan and Victoria Fisher - along with a whole herd of grandkids who will grow up hearing stories about the man who could do just about anything except quit: Cameron Horton and Kenley Johnson, Kayd Johnson, Case Clark, Cal Clark, Cope Clark, Jack Harris, Koen Harris, Sutton Harris, Tanner Fisher, Isla Fisher, Ellie Fisher, Walter Fisher, and Axel Horton.
He is also survived by siblings Sam and Alice Fisher Allen, Jick Fisher, Rick and Nita Fisher Hudson, Mary Joseph Fisher, Carma Whitehead Fisher, John and Teresa Koen, and Edith Koen as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins who loved him dearly.
Stanley's legacy will be celebrated Tuesday, October 14, at 10 a.m. at High Mesa Cowboy Church, with visitation Monday, October 13, from 5–7 p.m. at Heartland Funeral Home.
Because they don't make men like Stanley Fisher anymore. And if they did - the world wouldn't know what to do with two of him.
In honor of Stanley, the family asks that instead of sending flowers, you buy some for someone you love - or take a moment to help out a neighbor who could use a hand. That's what he'd have done, quietly and wholeheartedly, without expecting a thing in return.
