Brian S. Fish

Age 42, died unexpectedly on May 26, 2004. Brian was born April 16, 1962, son of the late Robert Fish and Marilyn (Barratt) Fish Foster of Lakeview, Michigan. Brian was a 1980 graduate of the Portland High School and was a talented artist. Many will remember his work detailing and painting cars and trucks. He loved his work and had a true gift for it. Brian was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and fishing. Playing his guitar also brought him peace of mind.

He is survived by his mother: Marilyn (Dick) Foster of Lakeview; his daughter: Shayna of Muir; two sisters: Debbie (Steve) Cerasoli and their children Gina and Dominic of Kaukauna, Wisconsin and Chris (Steve) Bentley and their sons Dustin and Corey of San Jose, California. Brian will also be missed by his special friend and companion Jeanine Meyers of Portland. Brian was preceded in death by his father, Robert Fish.

A memorial service for the comfort of the family was previously held.

Dear Mom, Debbie, and Chris: I know that perhaps I was not the son or brother you thought I could be, but please forget, if you can, that I stumbled along the way. Please forget that I ever caused you heartache, said some unkind words, and that I fell along the way. But please – DO remember some kind things I have done or some kind things I have said to those I cared about. Now that I have reached the end of my road, I wish I had taken more time out to say that I’m sorry, and that I love you all.
