Derek Vincent Fisher

Peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family, on October 30, 2025, Derek Vincent Fisher passed away at the age of 86.

Beloved husband of Zorina Fisher (née Koren) for 65 wonderful years this past May. Loving father of Veronica Schwellnus (Carl), Derek Fisher, Natalie Walkom (the late Steven), and Gregory Fisher (Helen, née Tsiourantanis). Cherished grandfather of Marina Schwellnus, Margaret “Meg” O’Brien (Mathieu), Dezora Walkom (Alex van der Zande), Brenden Walkom, Fiona Walkom, Adelaide Fisher, and Derek Fisher.

Derek is survived by his siblings Gordon Fisher (Patricia), Deanna Benton, Wenda Simons (the late Larry), and his sister-in-law Olga Fisher. He was predeceased by his siblings and their spouses Charles Fisher (Carol, née Oatway), Roycel Fisher, and Janice Lyman (Steve).

Derek lived a full and vibrant life. He was a gifted artist and musician who loved playing guitar, an enthusiastic member of his motorcycle club, and an avid HAM radio operator. He found great joy in maintaining his property and gardens in Terra Cotta, preserving the vegetables he grew, and cooking for family and friends. A skilled craftsman, Derek could fix anything, and he took pride in his coin collection and his time spent sailing out of Bluffers Park. Above all, he loved his family deeply and took pride in everything he did.

Derek always said, “It’s just another day.”
