Every time Kwen would see someone he knew, he greeted them with a handshake or a hug and kiss. As a teenager, Kwen participated in Special Olympics in track and field.

He would put on his furry Santa Claus hat every Christmas, becoming “Kwennie Claus” during the holidays adding to the joy of the season. In any activity in which Kwen was involved, he always did his very best. Kwen was a precious gift from God to his family and to everyone lucky enough to have been touched by his life. Kwen was preceded in death by his daddy, Les Fisher. He is survived by his mother, Mary Fisher of Midland; by his grandmother, Donna Wells of Rosemead, California; and by his sisters and brother, Lerla Chism of Odessa; Shauna and Robert Thornton of Houston; Jim and Stacie Fisher of Flower Mound; and Kimberly and Jon Stepp of Odessa.
