Lynn Honors Fallen Marshal Brad Fisher at Vigil
LYNN, Ind — The town of Lynn gathered Thursday night to remember Town Marshal Brad Fisher, who was killed while responding to a call involving a stolen vehicle.
Indiana State Police said Fisher was struck Wednesday by a stolen van driven by a suspect with active warrants.
The community held a candlelight vigil at the Randolph Southern Junior-Senior High School baseball field, a place that meant a great deal to Fisher. The scoreboard was set to 16-12, the final score from 2010 when Fisher coached the school’s first sectional championship baseball team.
Family, friends and former players shared stories about Fisher’s life on and off the job, remembering him as a coach, mentor and public servant. Many in the crowd wore Chicago Cubs gear to honor one of Fisher’s favorite teams.
Funeral arrangements have also been announced. Public visitation will be held Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Randolph Southern High School gymnasium, with the funeral service beginning at 4 p.m.
Police honors will follow at Spartanburg Cemetery. The Lynn Fire Department is inviting emergency responders from across the state to attend and pay their respects.
