Steven Alan Fischer was born on August 9, 1967, in New York Mills, Minn. to Gordon and Sharon (Vandermay) Fischer. He was confirmed at the Trinity Lutheran Church. Steven attended New York Mills High School, graduating with the class of 1985 and furthered his education by studying mechanics at Wadena Tech School.  

Steven worked for the Amoco Gas Station in New York Mills, Marlen’s Small Engines in Wadena, Rifes Auto in Sebeka, Shepard’s Dairy Farm, Dan’s Painting in Wadena, and Lund Boat Company. In 1994, Steven owned and operated Fischer’s Outback Autobody until his passing. For a short time he also worked at Schaefer Auto with his lifelong friend Gary Schaefer.

Steven met Charlotte Myers at Amoco while fixing her car and the couple were blessed with two sons: Steven and Brian.

Deeply loved, Steven’s passing will be mourned by his children: Steven, Brian (Becky), Devin (Abby), Dylan, Chelsea, and Nathan; his grandsons Liam and Melvin Fischer; and his sister Brenda (Junior) Eblen.
