Fishel

Justin Michael Fishel, 27, of Butler passed away unexpectedly Tuesday at his home. He was sent home to go on a fishing trip with his Grandpa LeRoy.

He was born Sept. 23, 1982, in Butler, the son of Randall H. Fishel and Shirleen (Dietrich) Fishel.

He attended Slippery Rock area schools and Pittsburgh Triangle Tech, where he received an associate degree in HRVAC. He then went to work in the refrigeration field.

He loved sports, baseball, football, soccer and especially hockey. He loved the outdoors and was an avid fisherman and hunter and loved camping and barbecuing with family and friends.

He loved his brother Dave, stepbrother Matt, stepsister Sarah, nephew Ricky and the rest of his family and friends. His heart was as big as the world and he touched everyone who met him. He was fun-loving and full of life, eager to lend a helping hand to anyone. He was kind, caring and considerate of other people's feelings. The world needs more people like him, and we are going to miss him severely.
