Mr. Cyrano Debergerac Fields

FIELDS, Mr. Cyrano Debergerac - Age 69, passed away Thursday, April 17, 2025 at his residence. Mr. Fields will lie in state in the chapel of Lawrence E. Moon Funeral Home, 906 W. Flit Park Blvd., and may be viewed Wednesday, April 30, 2025 from 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Mr. Cyrano De Bergerac Fields was born March 7, 1956 in Flint, Michigan, the second son of Billie Sr. and Doris Fields. His name-unique and poetic-reflected the quiet depth, thoughtful strength, and unshakable character that defined his life. Cyrano graduated from Flint Central High School and went on to build a life rooted in hard work, humility, and purpose. He held numerous jobs as a dedicated laborer in several General Motors parts factories, where he was respected for his discipline and reliability. Though quiet and reserved at times Cyrano was a man of deep integrity, known for doing what was right, whether anyone was watching or not. He was a loving presence in the lives of his family and friends, always willing to lend a hand or offer a kind word. In 2024, Cyrano was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Though treatment options were available, he chose to fight the disease on his terms, with resilience. Courage and unwavering dignity. Even while enduring pain, heartache and disappointment, he never gave up. He never complained. He never wanted to be a burden to anyone. Right up to his final days, he continued helping others, living with the quiet strength that had always defined him. Though he had no biological children of his own, that never stopped Cyrano from stepping into a fatherly role for those he loved. His heart was generous, his circle small but tight, and his loyalty to his family unmatched. He loved fishing, playing Chess-where he was a master strategist-and simply spending time with those closest to him. His humor was unforgettable, and his memory? Unmatched. He could recall every embarrassing story from the past, and he took great joy in making others laugh with them. On April 17, 2025, Cyrano De Bergerac Fields peacefully left his human body, having lived a life marked by courage, grace, and love. No more pain. No more suffering. He was well-loved, and the memories we have of him will forever be in our hearts. ~ He fought a good fight. He ran a good race. And he finished his course~ Cyrano was preceded in death by his parents, Doris and Billie Fields Sr.; grandparents, Willie and Ozzie Smith; aunts, Mollie Blair, Betty Brown and Janes Smith; uncles, Willie B. Smith, Nelson Smith and Alfred Jackson; his beloved brothers, Billie Fields Jr., Jermaine (Phillip) Fields and Andre Fields; cousins, Lerone Blair, Serenity Dillard, Gary Blair, Johnnie Blair, Angelo Blair, Willie Smith Jr. and Michael Smith, who were all very close to him.
