Michael Todd “Mike” Fisher, 45, of Lumberton, died at Christus Hospital - St. Elizabeth in Beaumont on Wednesday, December 17, 2014.  Mike was born January 8, 1969, to Mary Ann and David Lee Fisher.

Mike was a loving family man. His children were his pride and joy. He cherished and loved them dearly. He was always so proud of his two big strapping boys Colton, 19, and Brock, 17, and his little girl Shelby, 12, was always the twinkle in his eye. Mike was also a dedicated son to his mother, Mary Ann and his father, David Lee. He was always there for them and always showed great love for them. Mike was a wonderful and steadfast brother to his brother, Chris, and you couldn’t ask for a more caring nephew and cousin than Mike.

Mike was a friendly man and he had many friends who loved him. Mike never met a stranger and he came by it naturally. When he was a little boy, on family vacations, he would follow his daddy around the camp grounds, both of them visiting with all of the fellow campers like they had been neighbors forever.

Mike was a police officer by profession for nearly twenty years. Many of those years he served the community of Lumberton as a Lumberton Police Officer. He loved and took pride in being a police officer. He loved his community, and they loved him. He was known as “Big Mike” or “Fish” to many in the community and his fellow officers.

Mike is survived by his children, Colton Michael Fisher, Brock Stanley Fisher, and Shelby Rose Fisher of Lumberton; by his mother, Mary Ann Fisher of Lumberton; and his brother, David Christian “Chris” Fisher, of Beaumont.

Mike is preceded in death by his father, David Lee Fisher.
