The Passing of Kyle Fisher

From Tribute Funeral Homes

Kyle Evan Fisher
August 3, 1985 — November 8, 2025
Cincinnati, Ohio

Kyle Evan Fisher, age 40, of Cincinnati, OH, passed away while living out one of his passions and heading to the finish line of his second marathon on Saturday, November 8, 2025, in Indianapolis, IN.

Born on August 3, 1985, in Middleburg Heights, OH, Kyle was the beloved son of Don and Jan (Wardzala) Fisher.

Kyle will be forever loved and deeply missed by his parents; his sister and best friend, Jamie Fisher; and countless aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends whose lives he touched in unforgettable ways.

Kyle had a remarkable gift for bringing joy to everyone around him. His positive outlook, genuine kindness, and infectious laughter made people feel seen, valued, and loved. He had a way of lighting up every room he entered and leaving it brighter than before. To know Kyle was to be inspired by his warmth, humor, and zest for life.

A proud graduate of Piqua High School, Kyle was deeply involved in soccer and show choir – passions that would continue to shape his life. His talent for choreography and his love of performance brought happiness to so many, from students to community theater audiences alike.

Kyle went on to attend Bowling Green State University, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a minor in Marketing. His education led to a successful career with Fifth Third Bank, where his leadership, dedication, and compassion for others shone through in all that he did.

Outside of work, Kyle’s energy and creativity knew no bounds. He was a proud member of the Cincinnati East Side Running Group (CERG) and an active participant in several community theaters, including Footlighters and Cincinnati Musical Theater. Whether he was on stage, behind the scenes, or cheering from the audience, Kyle’s enthusiasm was contagious.

He found joy in the simple things; home remodeling projects, running, boating, spending time at Lake Erie with his family, or visiting his sister in Maine. His family meant everything to him, and the love they shared was truly extraordinary. Above all, Kyle adored his beloved dog, Burnadette “Burnie”, who brought endless love and companionship to his life.

Kyle’s life was a beautiful reflection of love, laughter, and generosity. His spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

A Celebration of Kyle’s Life will be held at a later date.

AIN’T TRUE & UNCLE FALSE FOR THE HOLIDAYS at Know Theatre

Ain’t True & Uncle False for the Holidays
Tall Tales and Twisted Carols
Dec. 7, 9, 13 and 14, 2025

(Cincinnati, OH) Cincinnati’s favorite storyteller, Paul Strickland, will delight listeners with a collection of off-kilter holiday stories and songs, accompanied by harmonies from his partner in art and life, vocalist and kazoo artist Erika MacDonald.

On off-nights at Know Theatre this December, expect hilarious, tall-tale “mis-rememberings” of classic holiday stories and songs. Hint: Frosty the Snowman might be the scandalous love-child of the Abominable Snowman and a snow-cone machine.

ABOUT PAUL STRICKLAND
Cincinnati audiences know and love Paul Strickland for his award-winning performances at the Cincinnati Fringe Festival. As a featured storyteller at the National Storytelling Festival, Strickland performed for audiences of up to two thousand people at a time, and drew standing-room only crowds to his tale-telling tents. It is experiences like this that inspired him to found the thriving fifth-year Cincinnati Storytelling Festival which was held this November in the heart of OTR.

ABOUT ERIKA MACDONALD AND HER KAZOO
MacDonald is a Covington-based performance artist. She is best known for her solo shows Tea TIME and The Barn Identity, and for “Show Us Your Weird,” the sold out cabaret she produces at the Know. But her talents on kazoo have made waves now and again over the years: “Strickland’s Southern-fried folk tunes are as wittily offbeat as ever, and they sound even better with MacDonald’s vocal harmonies and killer kazooing” – Orlando Weekly
