Jack Rodger Fiske, born October 11, 1933, passed away on May 26, 2023, just months prior to his 90th birthday. He was preceded in death by his parents, Evelyn and Arthur Fiske. He is survived by his life partner, Della Merle Senchuk, his daughter Jill Luxford Fiske, who resides in Virginia, and many extended family members and friends.

Jack spent his life at sea as a merchant marine. He was a chief engineer on sea going tugs and loved traveling the world as part of his job and life. He called Anna Maria Island home since 1936. Jack loved his life on the island and worked over the years dredging the canals and helping to make Anna Maria Island what it is today.

In his later years, Jack and Della developed a passion for vacationing and cruising the world. Jack always felt at home on the water and enjoyed his time partaking in multiple around the world cruises, completing his final voyage around the world just prior to his passing on May 26, 2023.

Jack was beloved by many family members and friends. A private memorial service will be held in the future to celebrate his life.
