Tributes paid following death of young Glenrothes dad

On February 6, William Fisher (25) was crossing the street at around 8.25pm when he was knocked down by a silver Vauxhall Vectra.

Willam was taken by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee for treatment, but later died of his injuries.

He leaves his daughter Lennox and fiancee Jacqueline Arnott, who said she is taking comfort in the fact that as a organ donor he has helped many other people.

Jacqueline posted on Facebook: “I want to thank everyone for their messages of love and support for myself, Lennox and the rest of the family.

“By being an organ donor William has helped so many people so we are taking comfort in this and we are so proud of him.

“He will be sorely missed by a lot of people.”

William’s friend Cameron Ian Campbell, who has organised the online fundraiser, paid tribute.

He said: “William was young and had nothing in place for his family, if the worst was to happen.

“William’s daughter is still to turn one and has been left without a father; knowing William as I did, I know he was going to continue being the awesome father he was being.

“Can you imagine what such a young family with little income has now to go through?

“With William’s closest loved ones permission and in respect to how much I love him, I have taken it to create a fundraiser to help with funeral care and after care ... maybe even a wee nest egg for his daughter for when she turns 21.

“If you knew William or not, if you have been affected by the incident or not, please find it in you to even donate as little as gofundme allows, if you are able.”

So far more than £400 has been raised by 25 donors, if you would like to contribute visit www.gofundme.com/f/a-tribute-to-william-fisher.
