U.S. Army Sgt. Keith E. 'Fisc' Fiscus, 26
TOWNSEND - U.S. Army Sgt. Keith E. "Fisc" Fiscus of Townsend died tragically while serving his country Saturday, Dec. 2, 2006, when his humvee exploded after passing over an IED bomb in Taji, Iraq. He was 26.
Mr. Fiscus was born Aug. 16, 1980, in Glendale, Calif., the second oldest child of Darrell and Pamela (Ferrise) Fiscus.
At the age of 18, he along with his family, moved to Delaware. He graduated from Glasgow High School in 1998 and worked at Genuardis in People's Plaza, now known as Safeway, in the produce department before working as a customer service representative for Discover Card. In his spare time, he enjoyed golfing and spending time with his friends. He was always the life of any party.
Following in his grandfather's footsteps, Mr. Fiscus enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2002. He served his first tour in Iraq in 2004. In 2005 he re-enlisted and in August 2006 he began his second tour in Iraq, where he was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division based at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. He was an E5 and soon to be promoted to an E6. He was expected to return to the states in February 2007. He was a brave solider and a hero who will be forever missed by many.
In addition to his loving parents, he is survived by two sisters and a brother-in-law, Dena and Chuck Archer of Smyrna and Korrie Fiscus of Townsend; a brother, Jordan Fiscus of Townsend; his paternal grandfather, Richard E. Fiscus of Fredonia, Kan.; his paternal grandmother, Lore Fiscus of Fredonia; a niece, Ashlee Fiscus; several aunts, uncles and cousins; and many dear friends and soldiers of the U.S. Army.
Friends may call from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday in the Middletown Volunteer Hose Co., 27 W. Green St. where a service of remembrance will be conducted by family and friends at 8.
Burial with full military honors will be 11 a.m. Thursday in Arlington (Va.) National Cemetery.
Arrangements by Daniels & Hutchison Funeral Home, Middletown.
