Timothy "Tim" Lee Fisher 65 of Buffalo, Missouri passed peacefully Saturday, September 23, 2023. He was born April 27, 1958, to Elmer Leroy Fisher and Helen Fisher in Bellflower, CA.
Tim is survived by wife, Kristi Fisher (Fair Grove); sons, Brian (Jessye) Fisher, Aaron (Brandy) Fisher from Strafford. Also, his stepson, Brandon Fulp; grandsons, Cody, JT, Cade, Christopher Coble, and Bo Grebe all from Strafford; siblings, Kay (Luke) Caldwell, Mike (Angie) Fisher, Russel (Kristie) Fisher Harrisonville, and Sherry (Twintin) Alexander Strafford; many nieces, nephews, and more friends that can be counted.
Tim was preceded in death by his mother; father; nephew, Corban Caldwell; his fur children, Kayley and Cupid; the tens of thousands of Crappie he swung over the side of his boat; as well as the pride of any fisherman who got the opportunity to fish behind him in his boat.
Tim was immensely dedicated to those he loved and extremely loyal to his friends and family. He was momma's boy, and he loved his momma. Tim's smile was infectious and even as quiet as he was, he could light up a room. Tim was dedicated to his work as a professional for 34 years at 3M and then followed in his fathers' footsteps as a truck driver in retirement.
Tim loved to help people, especially anyone who wanted to learn how to fish. Even more, he was passionate about helping children who wanted to learn to fish. Tim put others in front of himself every single day. Tim was the middle child of 5 and even in his death the middle child again found a way to get all of his brother's and sisters' attention at once.
He adored his grandkids and loved teaching them anything he could. He'd give them the shirts off his back and the red shoes or work boots off his feet any time they needed. He loved watching them play sports and taking them to the lake.
Tim put his life into his sons. He taught them what it is to be a great father, he gave them good and not-so-good from time-to-time examples of being a husband, and he taught them how to be great men. He was the epitome of a great man. Tim lived his dash his way. The dates do not matter. He will be missed by many, remembered by more and loved by all. Tim was a connector of people, he was the dirt in the dump truck, the fish on the line, he made people happy. Tim's love was intoxicating.
