Floyd Wayne Fisher. 83, of Mooresville, passed away in the comfort of his home on Saturday. October 24, 2026. Wayne, as most lovingly knew him, was born in Bedford, Indiana on February 6, 1943 to the late Harold Eugene Fisher and Marjorie (Stevens) Fisher.

The two married later that same year on September 28, 1962, beginning a partnership that would last a lifetime.

Throughout his career as a self-employed musician, he brought joy to many with his performances and mastery of numerous musical styles.

I am so sorry to learn of Wayne’s passing. He will always be in my heart. He was my father-in-law for many years. We shared some very passionate conversations about the world and I am grateful for it. I believe that I am a better person for knowing him.
About 8 years ago, I was returning home in the late evening and stopped at a local convenience store to get a Diet Coke. I heard a man talking about music with the cashier. I recognized his voice immediately. I snuck up behind and stated, “he was a helluva musician! I’ve heard him play numerous times!”. He spun around and said, “DOUG!”. Though it had been years since we had spoken, we stood outside for quite a while talking. There was a sincerity in his voice that was that night that was very comforting. He then bought me a six-pack of beer and sent me on my way. I always smile when I think of that evening.
My heart is broken for all of you. I know he will be greatly missed. I hope he’s playing some amazing jazz somewhere as I write this. Love you all.

In my teenage years learning to play guitar he was such a big help to me and Tammy! His passion and excitement in helping us was so awesome to see! Some of the best memories during that time!
I know he’s got a band together and playing in heaven!
Sending love to you all!
I am so sorry to learn of your father’s passing. I will keep you, the kids and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
