Obituary

Bryan Jacob Fischer

It is with deep love and sadness that the family of Bryan Jacob Fischer announces his passing. Bryan was the devoted husband of Deborah Fischer (née Parrish), with whom he shared 50+ wonderful years of marriage. He was a proud and loving father to Allyson Fischer and Darran Fischer (wife Amy Fischer), and a deeply cherished grandfather to Connor, Ava, Emily, Mason, Sadie, and Annie. His grandchildren were the light of his life, and his bond with them was immeasurable.

Born in Ayton, Ontario to the late Elmer and Violet Fischer, Bryan grew up on the family farm, where he developed a lifelong love of the outdoors, hunting, and fishing. He was the beloved brother of Dennis Fischer (Denise), Shelia Meyer (Jim), and Eunice Henning (and the late Jim Henning).

Bryan worked for many years with Vanwyck Crane Service, retiring in 2019 after a career he thoroughly enjoyed. His work brought him friendships and experiences he treasured throughout his life.

Beyond his profession, Bryan gave generously of his time and talents to his community. He was an active volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, Chantry Island tours, Marine Heritage, Faith Lutheran Church, and Southampton Minor Hockey. Bryan was always willing to lend a helping hand—believing that a good day’s work was not just valuable but essential.

An avid runner, Bryan completed 15 marathons in his lifetime, including four Boston Marathons, along with countless local races. His determination and spirit earned him the nickname “Marathon Man.”

Above all, Bryan will be remembered as a kind, loving family man who lived with generosity, integrity, and a deep commitment to others. His presence enriched the lives of his family, friends, and community, and his legacy of love and service will endure.

A Memorial Service to Celebrate the Life of Bryan Fischer will be held at the Faith Lutheran Church, 525 Ivings Dr., Port Elgin, on Monday October 6, 2025 at 11 a.m. A time of refreshment and fellowship will follow at the Walker House, Southampton, from 1-4 p.m. You are welcome to attend to both gatherings or to the one of your preference.

If desired, memorial donations may be made by cheque or cash to the Marine Heritage Society or to the Faith Lutheran Church. Eagleson Funeral Home will be present at both gatherings to receive donations.
