Travis “Yancy” Fisher, 48, of Tupelo, Mississippi, passed away September 15, 2020. He was born July 29, 1972, in Vicksburg, Mississippi, the son of Dr. Janet (Sinclair) Fisher.

He was an active church member of The Orchard in Tupelo as a greeter and Vacation Bible School volunteer.
Yancy’s passion for life brought joy to all who came in contact with him, especially when he flashed his magnetic smile.

Yancy will be remembered for his love of the beach, sunsets, flowers, children, grilling, and animals-especially his sweet Ellie/Eddie.
