OBITUARY

John Stephen Fisher was born in La Jolla California at Scripps Memorial Hospital on November 2, 1941 to OJ and Emily Fisher. From day one he was called Steve.

His first home was on Narragansett Street in Point Loma. Throughout the years he was blessed with being the big brother to Suzanne (Suzie) and Sarah. The family moved to Rancho Santa Fe, Mission Hills, Carlsbad and Idyllwild, with Steve graduating from San Diego High School and attending San Diego State and was a reservist with the US Marines.

Steve chose a career in construction with his focus being underground utilities, working as an estimator/project manager. He was employed at Southern Contracting Company in San Marcos for over 40 years, having just retired January 2024. He was a dedicated employee and enjoyed both the work he did as well as the friendships he made.

On his non-working days Steve enjoyed surfing, motorcycle riding, fishing, hiking and taking vacations. He loved to read, research and learn.

Steve and his wife Sharon were together for over 52 years and lived in San Marcos for the past 48 years. He was predeceased by his parents and his sister Suzie. He is survived by his wife, his sister Sarah (Rob), his nieces Alicia, Paisley, Stacy and nephew Ethan. He was Uncle Steve to many other young people in his life. Not having children of his own, he supported friends’ children with his big heart and always with advice, whether they wanted it or not.

Steve was bright, smart, funny, quick witted and all-round good guy. He will be missed by many and remembered for being the strong, hard-working man he was, and his loyalty to friends and family.
