A young Ohio musician remembered as a gifted banjo player and talented craftsman has died after a reported workplace explosion left him severely burned.

Parker Lisle, 24, died Thursday, July 16, at a Cincinnati medical center, one day after he was reportedly injured while working at Greenacres in Hamilton County, Ohio.

Lisle, who worked as a welder and fabricator, was using a plasma machine to remove the top of a drum that had previously held paint when the drum exploded, according to call records reviewed by WXIX.

The incident happened Wednesday, July 15. An employee told the outlet that Lisle suffered severe burns in the reported explosion.

Greenacres, a former “gentleman’s farm” that is now open to the public, confirmed Lisle’s death in a statement posted on its website, calling his passing a tremendous loss for the community.

“The Greenacres community suffered a tremendous loss this past week with the passing of our beloved teammate, Parker Lisle,” the nonprofit said. “While words cannot fully express the sorrow felt by those who knew and loved him, our hearts are with his family, friends, and coworkers as they navigate this unimaginable loss.”

At Greenacres, Lisle was part of the buildings and grounds team, where he helped repair, build and improve the property. The organization said his craftsmanship left a mark that will remain for years.

“Those who knew Parker at Greenacres saw more than an employee and colleague,” the foundation said. “They saw the light of someone who genuinely loved his work, took pride in doing it well, and quietly made Greenacres a better place through his craftsmanship, humility, and willingness to help others.”

The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office told PEOPLE that Lisle’s official cause of death remains pending. The Indian Hill Rangers Police Department is investigating the incident.

Beyond his work as a welder, Lisle was known throughout his community as a remarkable self-taught musician. His friend Myles Gee described him to WXIX as “one of the greatest banjo players to ever live.”

His father also spoke to the outlet about Lisle’s love of music and his reputation for playing the banjo.

Even after his death, Lisle’s family says he continued to help others. His organ donations saved three lives.

Loved ones have since created a Facebook page called “Parker Lives On” to honor the 24-year-old’s memory and celebrate the impact he made in such a short life.

In one emotional post, his sister, Hannah Lisle Doss, wrote that she looked up to Parker, even though she was the older sibling.

“It seemed like every time I saw you, you were amazing me with some new hobby or talent,” she wrote. “I could only stand back in awe and wish I was half as cool as you.”

She said she is still struggling to accept his sudden death, but is holding onto the life he lived, the gifts he shared and the people he helped.

“24 years will never be enough,” she wrote, “but the Lord has granted me peace, knowing that it was all you needed to fulfill your purpose and leave your mark.”
