Lynn L. Fischer, age 86, of Queen Creek, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 19, 2021, after a brief illness.  With his wife by his side and after his final phone conversations with his sons, he approached death with perfect peace knowing he was saved forever by grace through faith.  He was born to Carl and Janet (Vanderbeek) Fischer on April 17, 1935, at home on the family farm near Adams, Nebraska.

He always enjoyed the company of his three grandsons, Andrew, David and Daniel.  He was able to welcome his first great grandchild, Isla, in 2020.
