Lee Fish, 70, of Rhinelander, died on December 31, 2025 at the Country Terrace in Rhinelander. Lee was born in Rhinelander on August 28,1955 to Robert and Nola (Leavitt) Fish. He grew up in Stella where he enjoyed his grandfather Miles potato farm. By the age of 16 he was already working full time in the farming industry. He worked for many years at Kuczmarski’s farm until the farm stopped operating.

Lee then went to work at Sowinski Farm’s in Sugar Camp. He remained there until his time of retirement in 2019. Farming was truly his whole life but he did find the time to hunt and fish, which he enjoyed very much! Lee was also a very skilled craftsman and used his talents to build a beautiful home for himself in Stella, it was there he would watch the deer play in his yard. He also enjoyed drives to look for wildlife.

Lee was loved very much by his family and many friends who enjoyed his gentile spirit and great sense of humor. All that knew him also knew he was always there to lend a helping hand if needed.

Lee is survived by his three siblings, Douglas (Erica) Fish, Judy (Ray) Cheetham and Laurie (Cheryl) Fish. As well as his nieces and nephews. Lee was preceded in death by his parents, his eldest sister Diane Baker, his baby brother Kevin Fish and his life time love Pamela Fish.
