Connor Lee
Fisher
November 28, 1993 - January 24, 2022
Connor Lee Fisher, age 28, of Florence, passed away Monday 24, 2022.
Connor was born on November 28, 1993, in Athens, Alabama. Connor was a young, vibrant, handsome, funny, kind, loving, caring young man with a bright future. He loved his family, his friends, snow skiing, and the mountains. Connor dreamed of making a career out of helping others. His latest dream was to become a counselor to drug addicts.
He was a fearless child that never knew a tree he hadn’t climbed, a bluff he hadn’t jumped off, or a room without a warm welcome. Connor grew up loving going to his Granny and Pop’s farm, playing cards with his Dot Dot, eating his Aunt Granny’ caramel cake and playing in his Uncle Pop’s wood shop. From a kid testing a knife’s “sharpness” on his mother’s new recliner to a young man leaving home to work on a mountain in Colorado, he attacked life with a vigor and a fly by the seat of his pants attitude all his own. He was a standout goalkeeper for Florence High School and the Shoals Soccer Club. He also had a caring side that was especially seen when he visited his younger cousins Noah and Sam. The way he sincerely cared about each person he met positively impacted more lives than he ever will know. He will be remembered for loving big, his sense of humor and his thirst for fun and adventure.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Jean Fulks Jones and L. C. Jones; paternal grandparents, Louis and Dorotha Fisher; great aunt, Bet Welch; great uncle, John Welch; uncle, Chris Jones; cousin, Ryan Jones; and friend, Rivers Starkey.
He was survived by parents, Jim and Tammy Jones Fisher; brother, Ben Fisher; maternal uncles, Doug Jones (Susan Chan), and their children, Amy Thiede (Gary Thiede Jr.) and Ashley Xu and Keith Jones (Maureen Jones) and their children, Melissa Shupe (Craig Shupe), Caleb Shupe, Brittany Grubbs (John Grubbs), and their daughter Emory Grubbs; paternal aunt, Cindy Traisi (Chuck Traisi); paternal uncle, Hank Fisher (Michele Fisher), and their children, Cole Fisher (Lindsey Fisher), Noah and Sam Fisher, and Alex Fisher (Ali Fisher); a large extended family and a multitude of friends.

We will never become accustom to losing our children to death in any form. However, the Word of God assures us in Romans 8:39 that “nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Cry when you feel like crying and allow the pleasant memories of your son sooth your grief.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Connor will forever be in my heart. No words to describe how amazing and down to Earth Connor was. The way he motivated me in my recovery and this new way of life was amazing. Connor was disciplined, loving, and motivated but always had a soft fun side that he had no problem showing when the time was right. I would like to credit not only him but also his wonderful parents, Jim and Tammy, for raising such a wonderful son. Connor you will be missed dearly and forever loved by many. I love you forever and always and thank you for being my rock and love of my life.
Our hearts are broken for you as you grieve for Connor. He was a great guy! We have so many happy memories of Connor and Nick playing soccer together. Our prayers are for comfort today and in the difficult days to come.
I am so sorry to hear about Connor. He was a good kid.
