Dallas W. Fischer

Dallas William Fischer was born on September 13, 1947, and passed away on April 12, 2026, after several years of battling health issues. He died peacefully, surrounded by family who loved him dearly.

Dallas was a proud Vietnam War veteran and a Purple Heart recipient, a testament to his courage and service to his country.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Lynn, of 10 years (together for 26 years); his daughter, Kelsey (Sean) Chadwick of Saginaw, MI; and his grandson, Blake Pelton of Saginaw, MI. He is also survived by his sisters, Gail (Don) Ring of Kentucky, Elaine Edmonds of Grand Rapids, and Mary Fischer (Adriana) of Colorado.

He will be fondly remembered by sister-in-law, Gail (Maria) Yager of Dripping Springs, TX, as well as his stepchildren: Ryan (Allison) Shaltry of Waterford, MI; Justin (Natalie) Shaltry of Augusta, MI; Derek Shaltry of Tennessee; and Dana Rogers (née Shaltry) of Otsego, MI.

Dallas also leaves behind his cherished step-grandchildren: Piper Chadwick, Vivian Shaltry, Breck Rogers, Cade Rogers, and Myles Knight-Shaltry.

He was predeceased by his father, Eugene Fischer; his mother, Lona (Fiedler) Fischer; and his stepmother, Audrey Fischer.

Before kidney and heart failure limited their ability to travel, Dallas and Lynn enjoyed several wonderful years wintering in Texas and hiking the beautiful Hill Country near Austin.

He was loved dearly by his two dogs, Ellie and Odie.

Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
