Capt. JEB (aka Mike Fischer) Has Passed

[SgtRickHenry]

It is with great sadness that I write to inform everyone of Capt. JEB's passing, yesterday.  As many of you know, Capt. JEB (also known as Michael Fischer) has been battling cancer for quite some time.  Nonetheless, he tried to shoot every match, and the ones he couldn't shoot, he still came to and kept score.  Capt. JEB served as our Saluda Saddle Tramps Posse Secretary and as an NCOWS Senator.  He was also well know in SASS circles.  Capt. JEB always demonstrated the essence of the spirit of Cowboy and Western Shooting in manner of dress, choice of firearms, and in the way he conducted himself.  Capt. JEB's example and deep level of dedication was unmatched.  His wife, Jenell Fisher, also a member of our posse, has informed me that Capt. JEB will be cremated and that a memorial service is being planned for after the first of the year.  I will keep everyone informed about any arrangements.

Rest in peace, Capt. JEB.  It has been an honor to know you and thank you for giving of your time and your spirit, to our posse.  Adios, hermano y vaya con Dios.  We will remember you.

Please keep Capt. JEB and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for letting us know.
For those who didn't know Mike perhaps a picture here would be helpful.

So sorry to hear this.  Met Mike at the convention and had several conversations with him.  Got to know him a lot better at the Eastern Regional.  A great guy and NCOWS has lost another asset.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
Fly high my friend.  Bushwhacker

Earlier this evening (06 JAN 2019) I received the following information via text message from Mrs. Jenell Fischer, regarding the memorial services for Capt. JEB Forrest (Michael Fischer):


I wanted to let you know when the services will be held:  Saturday, January 12, 2019 at 1:30 PM at St. Martin's Lutheran Church, 16592 St. Martin Road, Albemarle, NC., with visitation after the service.  I am inviting anyone from SASS or NCOWS to dress cowboy but no guns. There will be a special area for them to sit in. [Mrs. Jennel Fischer sends]


I am planning to attend the memorial service; therefore, setup for next Sunday's (January 13th) match will be on the morning of the match, beginning 8:30 a.m. (0800 hours).

Thank you and if you have any questions, please contact me.

As always, I remain,

Below please find a link to the funeral home hosting the memorial services for our Michael "Capt. JEB Forrest" Fischer.  By clicking on the link, you can electronically sign the guest book and enter your personal condolences.  When I checked last night, there were only a few entries.  It will mean a lot to Ms. Jennel and the family, to hear from us.  (If for some reason, the link doesn't open, you can probably copy and past it directly into your browser).

Thank you for your kind consideration.
