Maryon E. Cissell II

Maryon E. Cissell II, known affectionately as Bud, age 81, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on March 5, 2026. Born on October 16, 1944, he is survived by his loving wife, Marjorie Cissell; his children Lisa Hayes (Rick Hayes), Michelle Humphrey (Chuck Humphrey), Angela Reader (Travis Reader), and Troy Cissell; his grandchildren Duncan Twyman, Harper Kovacs, Elsa Humphrey, Wade Humphrey, Alex Mooney, Ally Mooney, Cody Cissell, and Alexis Cissell; and his brother Ray Cissell (Diana Cissell).

After family, Bud was a man who loved to build, fix, grow, and care for the things around him. A skilled electrician and proud member of Local Union 369, he spent his career working with his hands and solving problems, skills that extended into every part of his life. If something was broken, Bud could fix it. If something needed to be built, he could make it. Friends and family knew that if they needed help, Bud would show up with the tools, the know-how, and the patience to get the job done.

He served his country in the United States Army, a chapter of his life he carried with quiet pride. At home, he found joy in tending his garden, working on projects, watching the night sky, and caring for his koi fish pond. He especially loved spending time outdoors, feeding the ducks and hawks and embracing the peace of nature. Those moments reflected the kind of person he was: steady, thoughtful, and deeply appreciative of the world around him.

Above all, Bud was a family man. His greatest satisfaction came from helping those he loved, whether fixing something around the house, building a project, sharing knowledge, or simply being present when someone needed him. His legacy lives on in the many things he built, the lessons he passed down, and the strong family he cherished so deeply.
