I will hear his old voice instead of the baby voice for couple seconds and it gives me hope. Maybe his mind is going in and out? I'm not sure why this happens.
PLEASE HELP! He doesn't want to go to the doctor either but we agreed in November to go to the emergency room for medical records.

Good advice from Mark above, he needs to be thoroughly evaluated by a neurologist and/or physiatrist and a clinical neuropsychologist. That he was found with an unknown duration of unconsciousness and taken to the ER suggests at least a severe concussion, and could be likely be classified as a moderate TBI.
Will he recover? It's likely, but this is where he needs medical intervention. Depending on the outcome of the neurological assessment, therapies will likely be prescribed. Brain injuries take time to heal and in my experience the chances of the best outcomes will be increased by appropriate therapies. Like your fiancé I had memory, emotional and other issues that were greatly helped by time and appropriate speech and occupational therapy.
For additional informtion and resources you may want to check to see if there is a Brain Injury Association for your state:

Best to you both.
