Carlos Antonio

Fisher, Sr.

When the sun rose in Richmond, Virginia on August 7, 1957, a bouncing baby by was born to Charles and Mildred Brown. His Mother named him Carlos, which is the Spanish name for Charles.

Carlos spent most of his childhood in the Maymont area of the West End and attended the Richmond Public Schools. When his mother was attending graduate school, Carlos spent an inordinate amount of time with his aunt and uncle, Marie and Clifton Whitaker, whom he affectionately referred to as "Nana" and "Big Daddy."

Carlos accepted Christ at an early age and joined the Good Shepherd Baptist Church under the pastorate of the late Rev. A.D. Smith. He loved his church and demonstrated his commitment to Christ in many capacities.

While in Jr. High School, Carlos moved to Flint, Michigan with his mother and adoptive father, Rev. Paul A. Fisher. He graduated from Flint Northwestern High School in 1975. He attended Virginia Union University for two years. He married Corliss and to that union was born two children, Carliss Malissa and Carlos Antonio, Jr.

In 2004, Carlos married Stacy Joseph and to that union was born a daughter Carlyss Antonia. Carlos devoted a forty-three year career with General Motors lending his expertise and work ethic to plants in Toledo, Ohio, Anderson, Indiana, Flint, Lake Orion, Grand Blanc and Detroit, Michigan and ultimately retiring as a Quality Supervisor in Romulus, Michigan. After retiring from General Motors, Carlos worked in transportation at the Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in Romulus, Michigan. He so much enjoyed picking up and transporting passengers to and from the airport.

Carlos was a devoted member of the Citadel of Praise Church in Detroit, Michigan where he worked tirelessly with the Hospitality Ministry. Carlos loved family and many referred to him as the glue that held the family together. He instilled in his family the importance of living a spirit-filled life and community service. When facing his final battle here on earth, he maintained his deeply abiding faith and reassured many of us through his daily morning messages via text, that God loves us all.

He enjoyed many hobbies. Among them were talking to and texting family members daily with a morning inspirational thought, working on vehicles, ensuring that the family members' cars were in immaculate condition, and listening to his R & B music, especially his favorite, the Dramatics.

Carlos was preceded in death by his parents; other relatives and friends.

He leaves to cherish and celebrate his memory: a loving and devoted family: his wife of 21 years, Stacy (Joseph) Fisher; son, Carlos Antonio Fisher, Jr.; two daughters, Carliss Malissa (Ernest) Godfrey, and Carlyss Antonia Fisher; three stepchildren: Jazmine Moore, Jacquelyn and Willie Laidler, Jr.; three grandchildren, Angel, Jonathan and Destiny Godfrey; loving and devoted cousins; and a host of other relatives and friends.
