A cherished coach, mentor, husband, and father, Tom Fisher, passed away on April 29, 2025, at the age of 58. However, details behind his passing remain concealed.
Tom Fisher is survived by his wife of 14 years, Amy Roback Fisher, and two kids: son Cole and daughter Gabrielle Fisher, affectionately known as Gabby.
Amy and Tom walked down the aisle on January 2, 2011, and since then, they had been happily married for 14 years until Tom took his last breath.
With the arrival of their two children over the years, Tom and Amy created a tight-knit family of four.
Tom’s firstborn daughter, Gabrielle Fisher affectionately known as Gabby, studies at Miami University. She graduated from Maine South High School.
Following his demise, Gabrielle shared a carousel of pictures featuring her father on Instagram with a lengthy caption filled with emotional remembrance.
She highlighted shared experiences between them, such as simple joys like coffee outings, sports, music, and unfulfilled plans. Gabby wrote:
To the best dad—and my best friend, I can’t wait for the day again when we can go for “coffefe” at 6 am, throw a football in the front yard, play tennis and badminton, cook together, laugh together, perform in a freaking circus!!!, listen to music together, hide my good snacks from you, wash and dry dishes, hangout, get and give advice, T-jeep rides, Linkin Park and All American Rejects, talk, and everything else we enjoyed.

Gabby added that they were supposed to go skydiving and to more Post Malone concerts.
After losing her father, she shared a heartfelt caption, saying, “I know you’re trying to tell me right now ‘one day at a time,’ but yesterday and tomorrow seem impossible without you.”
Just a day later, she honored his memory by getting a tattoo that reads “one day at a time” in his handwriting, turning his words into a permanent tribute.
Tom Fisher and his wife, Amy, owned Botanic Alternatives, a company specializing in hemp-derived CBD products and accessories, including caramels, bath bombs, and oils.
In December 2018, their business was featured on the front page of the Chicago Tribune’s Business Section. Excited about the achievement, Amy shared the news on Facebook with her family and friends.
