William "Bill" L. Fisher

William “Bill” Lloyd Fisher Jr., age 72, of Strong City KS, died August 14, 2025, at Chase County Care & Rehab, Cottonwood Falls. He was born September 28, 1952, in Newton KS, to William L. Fisher Sr. and Leida May (Rich) Fisher.  He is the youngest of 4 children. 

He attended Strong City High School and played football.  Summers often found him traveling to his sister’s home east of Elbing, working in the fields for the Hinz family, a practice that instilled in him a strong work ethic that carried throughout his life.  His younger years were filled with joyful adventures alongside his siblings, fishing, swimming, playing basketball, and roller skating.  He was a devoted son, brother, and uncle, remembered for his generous heart and his unforgettable, infectious laugh that brought joy to everyone around him.  Bill was cherished by his siblings, and the deep bond they all shared remained strong throughout their lives. 

He began his working years at IBP, where he earned more than a few scars, including the loss of part of a finger.  He later found his long-term career with Sheers Construction (now APAC), where he worked as a roller operator. No matter the demands of his job, Bill always made time to be near his mother, providing care, support and love whenever she needed him. 

Bill is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Charles and Kathryn Fisher, along with numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and some great-great nieces & nephews all who will cherish his memory. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, William Sr. and Leida May Fisher; his brother Wayne Fisher; and his sister and brother-in-law Idell and Wayne Hinz.  Bill was also preceded in death by two beloved young nephews, Eddie Hinz and Joshua Fisher. 

A graveside service will be held at 10:00 a.m. Thursday, August 21, 2025, at Pleasant Center Cemetery, located nine miles East of Elbing, Kansas. No visitation is planned
