Category:David Fisher

David Fisher is the middle child of Ruth and Nathaniel. After the death of his father David took over the family funeral business. Compared to the other characters, David consistently demands a high level of respect for the dead from his coworkers. On many occasions he scolds lewd conversation around bodies and frowns upon any sign of disrespect. For early in the series David struggles with his closet homosexuality, which is the primary reason for the strain on his relationship with love interest Keith Charles. Once David comes out to his family in individual ways, a newfound confidence takes place and it is evident that many of his controlling and austere habits begin to ease away. Throughout Six Feet Under David struggles largely with his homosexuality, his choice to become an undertaker, eventual fatherhood, his relationship with Keith and many other life issues we all encounter.
