Stephen R. FiskStephen R. Fisk, age 55, of Diamond, Ill., and formerly of Joliet, Ill., passed away Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2021, at Morris Hospital, following a brief battle with COVID.
Born Aug. 11, 1966, in Joliet, Ill., Stephen Robert is the son of Sally (nee Sheeler) Fisk of Diamond and the late George H. Fisk. He was raised in Joliet, graduated from Minooka High School with the class of 1984 and went on to attend Joliet Junior College. Steve worked as a CNA at St. Joseph Medical Center for many years.
In addition to his genuine caring and nurturing demeanor, Steve will be remembered for his blunt sense of humor and stubborn tendencies. He was a great collector of many things, most notably KISS memorabilia, as well as Mario collectibles. Steve was a fan of the Chicago Bears and always enjoyed working on a project. He was both creative and handy. Gone too soon, Steve, who possessed a strong Christian faith, leaves behind a legacy of being a devoted son, loving husband, brother, amazing uncle and friend to many.
Survivors include his wife, Sheri (nee Huston), whom he married March 8, 1997, in New Hope Presbyterian Church; mother, Sally; siblings: Sharon (the late Rich) Peck, Mike (Karen) Fisk, Tim (Mary) Fisk and Polly (Duke) Yaguchi; his "Outlaws," mother-in-law, Wendy Huston; brothers-in-law, and sisters-in-law, Kenny (Hillary) Huston, Darren (Andrea) Huston, Kelly (John) Olson and Mandy (Joel) Eaton; two uncles: Donald Robertson and Robert Frye; one aunt, Diane Fisk; and numerous nieces and nephews, as well as many cousins and friends.
Steve was preceded in death by his father, George Fisk; and his father-in-law, Kenny G. Huston.
