Thomas Arthur Fisher
Thomas Arthur Fisher, 66, of Sissonville passed away suddenly at home on Saturday
November 27, 2021.
He was the beloved son of Arthur and the late Leona Good Fisher he was born on June 5, 1955.
Tom graduated from WVU in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and
Forestry.
Preceding him in death were his mother, Leona Good Fisher and daughter, Connie Fisher
Berry.
Tom was married to Helen (Starr) Fisher on July 12, 1980. He worked for Department
of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Protection and with the Environmental
Protection Agency over the course of his career. He even spent time as a Forest Ranger as
"Smokey Bear." He loved his work and felt it was important to be a steward over the
earth. He retired from D.E.P. in 2010.
Tom was the loving father of Kristie, Tonya, (the late) Connie Sue and Jason Thomas. Tom
spent his life being the dutiful father and husband - attending to all the needs of his family. Tom
was quick to leave what he was doing and give support wherever and whenever needed.
His life was full of service to others and selfless acts of devotion.
Tom will be sadly missed because of his giving heart to all of us. He enjoyed the outdoors
very much. Even though he spent much of his time caring for others, he enjoyed camping,
fishing, hunting and gardening. His favorite flower was a daisy, and he wrote poetry when
he was young. His grandchildren will always remember him for blueberry pancakes, walks
along the creek, and big bonfires.

daughterTonya Criser and Brent of Lancaster, Ohio; son, Jason Fisher and Sarah of Sissonville; father,
Arthur Fisher, of Sissonville; sister Karen Price and Terry of Myrtle Beach, SC; Debbie Walker
