Today marks the 25th anniversary since you’re passing. Not a day goes by Kevin. I don’t think about you and the wonderful wife and son you left behind. We sure did do some good locking up bad guys in Daytona Beach. You were a True Cops Cop and I was honored to serve with you. I love you and miss you dearly

Thinking of you today, Good Buddy! You were so vivacious , so dedicated to doing the right thing. No bad guys were getting away from you. You were beyond fast on foot, I couldn't believe you could run so fast in those heavy motor boots. God Bless the Good, Kevin Fischer Always In Our Heart!

Tomorrow, 14 June 2019 I will retire from the FBI after nearly 21 years. Eight days before reporting to FBI training in Virginia, Kevin was taken from us all too soon. I was required to leave my life back in Daytona Beach behind for several decades over the time of my career but so often drew focus and inspiration to make Kevin proud of my career and contributions. When after ten years into my career I was assigned to our Washington Field Office located nearby to the National Police Memorial where your name is proudly memorialized. I visited with you when I faced tough life decisions on warm summer days at lunch or with a coffee on blustery fall afternoons. Your presence was reassuring to me when I felt so far from my Florida home even after being gone so long. I have never forgotten you, our time shared as officers and the legacy you have left your wife and son and friends.

Hi- I am Kevin's wife.
Kevin's best friend texted me today and reminded me of this site! It's been 19 years.
19 years without him!
18 years of raising his son without him.
But I remember EACH day that I was loved! That man with a huge heart loved me and made me laugh daily! I find comfort in that and I am able to smile, laugh, and live my life today. So thank you- to all that visit Kevin's site- who just read or post a message. It's amazing to know he meant something to you and you think of him.

I met Kevin back in 1991, when he came to Tampa to see his girlfriend on the weekends. He married her after she graduated from college. My girlfriend at the time and kevin`s girlfriend were very close classmates at USF. The four of us went out all the time when he came down to Tampa to visit his girlfriend. Damn, we had some crazy as hell times together! Him being a LEO was the last thing I thought he would ever do for a career. I was out of town when I heard the tragic news about his death. The accident was so senseless, but its part of the job and he knew the risks that went with it. Its been 16 years since he died, and I often think about him and the good times we had. God bless you and rest in peace, my friend! God bless his wife and son as well. Your friend, Mark Parise

My Brother. I have been coming to DC for years, and I still think of you a lot. You were on motors long before me, and I never got to know you, but I've met your wonderful family and friends and I still get choked up everytime I see the picture of the wonderful tribute your wife and son left for you on the wall during my first Police Week. I know I can't change the past, but please know that you were one of the people that impacted my life to make me what am I today, and drives me to honor all of the families that have lost their heros,
