Laren D. Fisher, age 78, died on Wednesday, December 10, 2025 at home in Poynette, WI. He was born on January 22, 1947 to B. Eugene and Naomi (Wilkins) Fisher in Henry County Hospital, IN.

Laren graduated from Richmond Community Schools in 1965. In April of 1966, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, serving for eight years as an Avionic Navigation Systems Specialist. After completing his military service, he moved to Chicago, where he attended the DeVry Institute of Technology.

Laren went on to work for Bally's in Chicago, where he met Liz, who would later become his wife. Together they welcomed three children and eventually settled in Round Lake Park, IL.

A talented and avid woodworker, Laren leaves behind many handcrafted projects that his family will forever cherish. He had a unique ability to turn any knick-knack into a lamp, a skill that delighted those around him. He also had a deep love for computers, astronomy, and photography—interests that reflected his curiosity and creative spirit.

Laren is survived by his three children Kari (Casey) Racas of Paddock Lake, WI, Sarah (Eric) Conners of Columbus, WI, Mathew (Amy) Fisher of Island Lake, IL; six grandchildren Kyle (Hailey), Naomi, Taylor, Caryl, Steven, Jaydon; brother Larry (Janice) Fisher of Elkhardt, IN; other relatives and friends.

Laren was preceded in death by his parents; sisters Carol Fisher, Kathy Reece; nephew Craig Fisher.
