Obituary For Drew Fishman

Drew Fishman, 64, of Absecon, was found dead New Year's day with a peaceful smile of contentment on his face. His parents, Fred Fishman and Goldie Fishman, predeceased Drew. He is survived by his sister, Sherry Fishman, her son, Danny Onderchain; his brother, Mark Fishman, with wife Jenny and son Mengyu. He loved life and lived it to its fullest, traveling extensively and cultivating lifelong friendships along the way. Many of these neighbors and friends were happy to help Drew in the last couple of years, with ex- wife, Michele Panzera, her husband Mike, Geoff Rosenberger and Cathy England being leaders of what he referred to as his team.

Drew was surrounded by milestone accomplishments throughout his life, centered around giving back to the various 100 plus communities in which he involved himself, but, the accomplishments of which he was most proud were the many personal relationships he cultivated through the years, always asking how he could help them even as his mobility and independence diminished.

A viewing will be held from 11AM to 12:30PM on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at Parsels Funeral Home, 324 New Jersey Ave., Absecon. Burial will follow in Rodef Sholom Cemetery, 6691 Black Horse Pike, Egg Harbor Twp.

    My heartfelt sympathies to all. Drew was always there when you needed someone. While was going through my divorce and living alone, Drew would stop by every Sunday with a cup of coffee and a newspaper just to seee how I was doing. That is just one of the many beautiful gestures he shared with myself and my family. He will be truly missed

    It is very sad to hear the news of Drew's passing. He gave so much to life and our Realtor family, not just his local but also state, NJR and NAR. Drew, you were a gentleman, a good friend to many across the country, and gave your heart to good friends who thought the world of you. May you rest in Peace now and thank you for all you did for me over the years, your trust in giving me referrals, your good heart and the soul of your friendship. I will miss you and your calls. Bless you, and we will never forget you.💔

We Offer the Book of Memories™

Parsels Funeral Home offers what we consider to be the finest example of online memorials, the Book of Memories™. Created by an award-winning team of web developers and designers while being led by a funeral professional with over 25 years of experience, this online memorial is intended to provide your family with a permanent place to pay tribute to your loved one.

Far more than a traditional obituary—which is usually published only once and has no interactivity at all—the Book of Memories™ Memorial Website is a fully interactive archive of treasured photographs and stories remembered from their time spent with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.

You’ll be able to invite others to visit the online memorial, where they can upload images, share stories, write heart-felt messages of condolence, send a floral tribute to the funeral, or make a charitable donation in memory of your loved one. And the built-in social media integration means they can then “spread the word” about their addition to your loved one’s Book of Memories™ using Facebook and Twitter.

We offer the families we serve a Book of Memories™ memorial website with the intention that it gives you a measure of solace and comfort during the coming months. To arrange for a Book of Memories® memorial website for your loved one, contact us today.

To learn more about our obituary and online memorial services, contact us at 609-641-0071 today.
