Kevin Michael Fisher, 48, of Ledyard, passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 13, 2025. He is survived by his beloved wife, Christine Elizabeth Miller, of Ledyard.
He was born September 7, 1976 in Biddeford, Maine to Arthur and Sandra Fisher of Lawndale, North Carolina. He spent most of his younger years living in Massachusetts and is a 1994 graduate of Pathfinder Vo-Tech High School.
After graduation, he moved to North Carolina, where he spent several years as an EMT/paramedic before joining the Navy on October 30, 1997. He spent 20 years as both a Sonar Technician and an IT Specialist on submarines. He retired October 31, 2017.
During his retirement, Kevin married his adoring wife, Christine, on August 17, 2019. He was passionate about helping fellow veterans and did so on both a personal level, and spent a couple of years as a VA Peer Specialist. Kevin was known for being an animal lover. He and his wife adopted several senior dogs and also successfully fostered several other dogs. While all of his pets held a special place in his heart, his young, Jug dogs Maddox and Dahlia had him wrapped around their little paws.
Kevin was a life long learner whose interests included Political Science, Military History and Physics. Kevin was also working closely with a high school teacher in the development of a Digital Society curriculum. Kevin liked to be active and was often seen walking around his neighborhood, and he always had time to stop and talk to any neighbor he encountered. He also enjoyed visiting with friends, working on and riding his Harley Davidson, reading and cooking special meals. Additionally, he was a supporter of St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
In addition to his wife and parents, Kevin is survived by his sisters, Nina Daniels and Shannon Richards, as well as several nieces and nephews, four cats and three dogs.
