GREENE COUNTY — Multiple law enforcement agencies and members of the community are mourning the loss of Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement:

“Fran and I are shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden death of our friend Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer. Sheriff Fischer was dedicated to the law enforcement profession where he spent a majority of his professional career.”

“Fran and I first met Gene when he worked at the Xenia Police Department. What always struck me was how well loved he was by men and women who worked under him at the department, and he had that same strong relationship with the men and women who worked for him at the Sheriff’s Office. Gene combined that respect and love with a real relationship with the community. Sheriff Fischer was doing community policing before those techniques even had a name.”

“Fran and I extend our condolences to his wife, Gail; his daughter, Brittany; and his entire family.”

Former mayor of the city of Beavercreek, Brian Jarvis, issued a statement about his relationship with Fischer in a Twitter post Tuesday night.

So sad to hear about the death of Greene County (OH) Sheriff Gene Fischer this evening. I knew him for just over a decade, spoke with him often, and considered him a good friend. He was a dedicated law enforcement officer who truly cared for his community. He will be missed.
