Dennis M. Fischhaber, age 67, of Chelsea, MI, passed away on December 25, 2024 at his home surrounded by family.
Dennis was born on July 11, 1957 in Lapeer, MI, the son of Robert and Elaine (Thomas) Fischhaber. He grew up in Saline, MI and graduated from Saline High School in 1975. Growing up, he had a love for sports and the outdoors.
He married Cindy (Van Riper) on July 19, 1986, and they shared 38 wonderful years of marriage. They raised three boys in Chelsea, MI. Dennis could be seen on the sidelines coaching the boys' basketball and baseball teams, and he would support them from the stands when he wasn't. An avid outdoorsman, he could sit up in a tree and bow hunt for hours. He was a hard-working and dedicated man who gave 45 years of service to Ford Motor Company. After retirement, he got a lot of enjoyment from golfing and spending time with his four grandchildren.
Dennis is survived by his wife, Cindy; three sons, Dennis Jr. "DJ" (Ashleigh) Fischhaber of Grass Lake, Tyler (Emily) Fischhaber of Ypsilanti, and Jacob (Jaclyn) Fischhaber of Grass Lake; four grandchildren: Gemma, Cody, Paxton, and Sunny; his siblings: Robert (Carol) Fischhaber of Indiana; twin sister, Debbie Webb of Flushing; and Diane Fischhaber of Swartz Creek. He was preceded in death by his parents.
