Shaun's Funeral & Family Relief Fund

My name is Chaz Fisher, and I’m raising funds for my father Shaun Fisher who has recently passed away on March 13th, 2024. He leaves behind myself, our 16 year old brother Mikolaj and his mother, and 21 year old son Isaiah who has already suffered through the loss of his mother at only 8 years old. Shaun was a very talented musician, composer, producer, caring father, friend, and so much more. He loved to perform live, playing bass in Calypso bands during his youth to curating live shows for Disney theme parks in Orlando, Florida where he sang, played keyboard, and bass. He loved what he did and put thousands of smiles on peoples faces as they sang, danced, and clapped along to his band’s music. Unfortunately, he was so good at his job that it was hard for him to find a replacement to ease the workload of working in the sweltering Florida sun seven days a week. One day, he came home with chest pains and thought nothing of it but then it got worse. He went to the hospital and the doctors told him he needed a new heart valve ASAP. After the first heart surgery we thought he would be ok, however, fluid got into his lungs then more complications followed after. Shaun ended up having a serious complication leading to an open heart surgery. During this time, his savings were running dry and he was unable to work his stable job. A few months went by and Shaun could finally get up and walk around. He was always one to talk about strong mind and body working in conjunction but I could see the wear and tear of the procedures settling into his body. On one casual day, Shaun took my brother Isaiah to get his haircut. As Shaun was sitting in the shop he got a business call. He quickly stood up and walked outside. Unfortunately, because of the medication he was on from the previous heart conditions, he began to faint and went head first into the hard concrete. Ambulance came to treat him then sent him on his way. He kept claiming that the pain wouldn’t subside so we took him to the Emergency Room. They found a blood clot and needed to do emergency brain surgery. We didn’t know if this was the last time that we would see him and were already traumatized from Isaiah’s mother passing from a brain aneurism that left her in a vegetative state indefinitely. Terrified of the outcome we all prayed that he would make it through. After hours and hours of waiting, the doctor came back with good news that the operation was successful, however, there was absolutely no way he could perform the shows he created at the same level he once did. The next few years were tough. Lots of financial adjustments, downsizing, and anxiety of him getting more seizures at any given time were on the forefront of all of our minds 24/7. Fast forward to March 13th, 2024 and it’s now been over six years since his initial mini stroke. He went peacefully in his sleep and we can’t thank God enough for letting him go pain-free. My father Shaun fought as hard as he could and always figured out a way no matter what. I know he was in pain mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Not being able to do what you love, provide how you used to, and move in all the ways that make you feel alive shattered his reality into a million pieces. And we all helped the best we could to meld them together to let him see through a new glass pane. He still was able to find some joy through it all and stuck it out as long as he could because he loved his kids so much.

Shaun lived with Isaiah, Mikolaj and his mother at the time of his passing. With the family losing their head of household and disability benefits, we are asking family, friends of mine and my fathers, and anyone who is able and willing to assist us with the funeral cost and supporting the household while myself and a few other family members help them create a stable environment and a solid foundation so they can eventually stand on their own. This has not been easy for the last six years and 90% of my friends never knew about the situation with my father because I don’t like to ask for help or have people in my business. It’s now affecting my brothers to a point where I need to make sure I can do what I can to help give them a brighter future. Isaiah has lost both parents now, but still has my mother and her side of the family and Mikolaj’s mom to give him comfort and care. There is A LOT of work to be done. I took a flight to Orlando immediately when I heard the news but could only stay for a week due to work. I plan on continuing to help any way I can every day for as long as it takes.

I loved my dad. Whenever he walked into a room you could feel his presence. He was my rock, my best friend, my music teacher, my comedian, my everything. He taught me so much about people and kindness, I’ll never forget his lessons.

Long Live Shaun Fisher❤️‍
