Fisher was killed in a one-car accident Thursday afternoon on the Decatur-Conehatta road.
Classmates and other friends assembled at ECCC Friday morning to remember the popular student and concert choir member, who was a graduate of Newton County High School.
Counselors from Weems Community Mental Health Center were also available to meet with students coping with Fisher’s sudden death.
Fisher’s funeral was held Sunday, and Wolf Funeral Home in Morton was in charge of arrangements.
