LYNN, Ind. (WISH) — In the town of fewer than 1,000 people, Brad Fisher was known as a versatile public servant who wore many hats.

The town marshal died Wednesday morning after being struck by a stolen van during a police pursuit in Randolph County, the Indiana State Police said. The woman being pursued was in jail Wednesday night. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Department requested that State Police investigate the fatal pursuit.

At a vigil held Thursday night, hundreds gathered at a baseball field at his alma mater, Randolph Southern Junior-Senior High School, to honor Fisher.

“My dad was truly a one-of-a-kind man who touched the lives and hearts of so many people,” his daughter, Zoe Fisher, said.

“He put his life on the line for us, for our safety,” said Matt Windham, pastor of Lynn Friends Church.

Fisher’s impact on the community spanned decades. He spent 27 years with the police department. He was also a captain in the fire department, managed the town’s streets, and coached the Randolph Southern baseball team to its only sectional championship in 2010.

“He was a worker; he put everything he had into everything he did,” Windham said.

At the vigil, held at the school’s baseball diamond, attendees wore Chicago Cubs gear or “Cubs blue,” a nod to Fisher’s deep devotion to the team.

Randolph County Sheriff Ken Hendrickson, wearing a Cubs jersey, shared a lighthearted memory. “I am 100% a Reds fan, and Brad Fisher, for all the years I knew him, said, ‘Ken, one day I’ll get you in Cubbies blue.’”

But the focus of the vigil remained on Fisher’s character rather than his expansive resume or love of baseball.

“There is a hole in humanity today because Brad Fisher is not with us in the flesh anymore,” one speaker said.

“We love and miss you, Dad, and we’ll make sure your legacy lives on forever,” Zoe Fisher said.

Fisher was 50. He is survived by his wife, son, daughter, and a community of admirers.
