Kevin Patrick Bissett, a beloved father, grandfather, and dedicated steel worker, passed away on August 7, 2025, at the age of 70. Born on October 1, 1954, in Canton, Ohio, Kevin was known for his stubborn Irish spirit and his enormous heart. He dedicated his career to Republic Steel, proudly contributing to the manufacturing industry and leaving a lasting impact on his colleagues.

Kevin was a devoted father to his daughters, with whom he loved more than anything and shared a close and cherished bond. His love for his family extended to his grandchildren, whom he adored and loved to show off to anyone who would listen.

He is survived by his daughters, MacKenzie Bissett and Devin (Dustin) Maxwell; grandchildren, Oaklyn, Cedar, Beckham, Montgomery, and one more grandson due in November; former wife, Marla Bissett; siblings, Raymond Bissett, Patty Sells, and Maureen Wilccox; and many nieces and nephews.

He is proceeded in death by his parents, Kathleen and James Bissett; brother, Michael Bissett.

Kevin had a remarkable sense of humor that brought joy to those around him. A proud sports enthusiast, he was an avid fan of the Cleveland Browns, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Cleveland Guardians. He spent many days enjoying athletic activities, particularly golf, and cherished the time spent with friends and family on the course.

He will be remembered not only for his strength and determination but also for his love, laughter, and loyalty to those he held dear.

Services will be announced at a later date.

So sorry to hear of Kevin´s passing. He was a great friend during our (Lehman) High School days. A lot of great memories - a favorite is the road trip we took in December 1972 to Washington DC with his brother Ray and sister Maureen in her Ford Pinto and stayed at her apartment in Alexandria VA. Kevin will be missed by many.

Kevin was such a wonderful person and friend. I will cherish the memories we shared. I dearly miss you. I think about you every day. I know you are at peace. See you on the flip side.
