John Forrest Fisher

John Forrest Fisher, better known as “Fish,” swam into the great beyond on March 7, 2025, at Swedish Hospital in Denver, Colorado. Born on August 21, 1947, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Fish was the proud son of Forrest Charles Fisher and Doris Helen Fisher. 

After earning a B.A. from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, Fish kicked off his career as a Business Manager at General Electric, later swimming upstream to become an executive at Carik Services Inc., a floral company. But let’s be real—his true passions were Rock & Roll, sports, fine wine, and exploring the globe. ”Pescado” spent half the year basking in the sun in Puerto Vallarta, where he met the love of his life, Yolanda “Yoyo” Alatorre, on the beach. Together, they made unforgettable memories. A die-hard Denver Broncos fan, Fish was equally enthusiastic about college football and basketball. He also played soccer at Trinity, proving he could kick it both on and off the field. Mischievous to the core, Fish relished good food, great friends, and an excellent glass of wine—though he had a firm policy against loud mariachi music. You could find him for hours on the beach with a cold beer in hand, usually in his favorite color orange, catching up with friends. 

He’ll be sorely missed by his crew in Denver and Puerto Vallarta. A connoisseur of hole-in-the-wall bars, tequila, and a collector of baseball hats, Fish left behind a legacy of laughter, love, and plenty of stories to tell. Cheers to you, Fish—you’ll always be the life of the party.
