Fisher, David James, age 69, of Malignant Cove, Antigonish County, passed away peacefully on July 17, 2026, at home with family and friends at his side.

Born in Antigonish, he was a son of the late Ronald and Mabel Fisher.

David was raised in Pleasant Valley and Malignant Cove, and he was a hardworking man.  He was a man who took great pride in his property.  He was known throughout the community for his gardens and flowerbeds.

David began his work life in the woods, but he worked hard putting himself through upgrade school to join the Coast Guard, which was a job he was extremely proud of.  In his spare time, David enjoyed hunting and, especially, fishing.

He is survived by his wife, Rosetta (Fleming); sons, Darren Hape (Kayla Cunningham) and Shawn Fisher (Ketsara Vatanyootaweewat); grandchildren, Darien, Rylee, Aiden, Kalleigh, and Tidus; brothers, Lenny (Kitty), Myles, and Kevin (Leslie); and sisters, Cathy (late Longard) and Marie (Shane).

Predeceased by his brothers, Wade, Jeffery, and Kenneth
