Dusty Fisher Owner, Funeral Director, Embalmer, Crematory Operator, Boerne Cemetery Sexton

Dusty grew up moving around Texas and then settling in Brownwood due to his dad coaching high school and college football. Dusty received a B.S. in Agricultural Communications from Texas Tech University. After cowboying on the Waggoner Ranch which at the time was the largest ranch under one fence in the United States, he attended and graduated from the Texas Christian University Ranch Management Program. After ten years in the cattle industry managing ranches and after witnessing a tragic ranch accident, the funeral business presented itself through friends that own a funeral home. Dusty graduated with honors from the Dallas Institute of Funeral Services and worked for these friends for several years. Once he attained his license, his dream became owning his own funeral home in the Hill Country. His wife, Jo Lynn, credits God with leading them to Boerne and to the Ebensbergers. Dusty is very proud to continue to run Ebensberger Funeral Home the way a family should. Dusty is a former Rotarian and is currently a member of The Centurions of Kendall County. When Dusty is not at the funeral home, he is either hanging out with family and friends or on the golf course. The Fishers have two boys that grew up in the Boerne school district. One will attend Texas Tech University and one is a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps.
