Dennis Alexander Fishburn, 69

Dennis Alexander Fishburn (Uncle D) passed away Jan. 18, 2025, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Dennis was born Dec. 11, 1955, in Decatur, Ill., to Lester J. Fishburn and Thelnora E. Fishburn, the third child of four siblings. 

Sgt. Fishburn served eight years in the United States Army. He was a Pershing Missiles crewman in Germany. He spent countless hours training and preparing for a National Security mission. He earned Ribbons and Metals, the Army Superior Unit Award, a sharpshooter marksmanship badge and a grenade, to mention a few.

He loved hunting and fishing, competing in bass tournaments with his friend, Mike. He also loved baseball and was a Chicago Bears fan. Can't forget the Western movies and game shows.

Uncle D was the unique type of friend who you could call at any hour, and he would show up willing to put his life, and freedom, on the line for you. 

He is survived by his siblings, Diana McDonough, Lesta Prior and Les Fishburn, as well as many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews. 

We all love you and will miss you.

Service will be held at the Washington State Veterans Cemetery in April of this year. Arrangements by English Funeral Chapel, Post Falls. Condolences to the family at www.englishfuneralchapel.com.
