Roy D. Fisher, 80, of North Little Rock passed away on Saturday, May 29, 2021. He was born in Little Rock to parents Roy and Maxine Fisher.
Roy graduated from North Little Rock High School, attended Henderson State College and also served his country in the Army Reserve. He was a Baptist and member of the Willow Beach Baptist Church for many years.
Roy began his lifelong career in the restaurant business working with his parents. He retired in 2005 after serving wonderful food to the community for many years. In 2021 Roy was awarded the "Gone but Not Forgotten" award from the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame.
Roy always put family first! He was known as "Pops" to his family and "Hon" to Chee Chee. He enjoyed watching his grandchildren and great grandchildren play sports and hunting with his dad, son-in-laws and grandson on trips to British Columbia, Colorado and Wyoming. He also loved to fish, shoot skeet, play cards and work in the yard with his flowers. He won many bass tournaments, including "Mr. Bass of Arkansas" in 1983 and won too many shooting competitions to count. He was a great storyteller and jokester, entertaining family and friends for hours. He was a past member of the North Little Rock Road Knights, Benton Bass Club and the Tom Steele Hunting Club.
Roy is preceded in death by his parents; sister, Loretta Johnson and his niece, Dayna Johnson.
