Jeffrey Fishman Obituary

Boca motorcyclist dies in accident on I-95 in Fort Lauderdale
By Megan O'Matz, Sun Sentinel

FORT LAUDERDALE - A Boca Raton man riding a motorcycle was killed in a collision on I-95 early Sunday morning, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The accident occurred at about 4:30 a.m. in the northbound lane, south of Sunrise Boulevard.

Jeffrey J. Fishman, 25, was riding a 2006 Suzuki bike when he hit the back of 2001 Mercedes, driven by Antoine R. Williams, 23, of Lauderhill.

Fishman, who was wearing a helmet, was thrown from the bike.

He was taken to Broward General Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Williams fled with a female passenger, but later returned to the crash site. He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, driving without a valid driver's license and driving with a suspended ID card.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

So smart and strong yet gentle and caring.
He will be sorely missed and not a day will go by without remembering his smile and bubbly personality and how it uplifts your spirit and helps carry you thru the day.
God Bless and love always.

It was a pleasure knowing JJ and having the opportunity to be his friend. I became friends with JJ around high school and had the opportunity to continue that friendship through college in Orlando. JJ always had a smile on his face, always supported his friends, and genuinely loved life. He was an incredible person and will be missed dearly. I am happy and fortunate I can consider myself one of JJs close friends. I am glad I had the ability to hang out with JJ quite frequently up until his move back to south Florida, but I am extremely sad and sorry I did not get the chance to see him afterwards or have the opportunity to say goodbye.
To the Fishman Family, I am very sorry for your loss. JJ was an amazing friend and I know he was a great son and brother to you all. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To JJ's family and friends: My heart, prayers and condolences go out to you all for this terrible loss. I met JJ in Orlando after high school. We were total opposites but ended up living together for a year and shared a mutual respect of good music, good drinks, California Chicken Grill and a level of respect for each other. I feel lucky to have met somebody as loyal as JJ and knew that once we were friends, he always had my back no matter what. That's a very rare feeling you get with most people. Always smiling and forever in our hearts, you'll be missed JJ. Fishman family, stay strong.

I was lucky enough to grow up with you, and from the Boca Manta's to our Orlando days you always had my back and I will never be able to thank you enough. You will always be my boy and every time see a pool, go to the gym, watch MMA, play Gears of War (or any racing game), hear a Nas song, or have a sip of E & J and too many other things to name I will think of you. You may be gone but the memories you gave so many people will live on forever. For every tear shed there is an even better memory. Rest In Peace
