Lisowski, 33, paid tribute to his “idol” with a social media post sharing some of recent moments they spent together.
He wrote: “Last week, my Dad passed away, whilst walking up the hill on a sunny day.
“He was one of my best friends and my idol.
“The pain of losing him is hard to describe but I also feel so so lucky to have had him in my life for 33 years and spent so much time with him – especially the last few years.
“He showed me what unconditional love is and gave my sister, my mum and myself the best life imaginable. I took the first three photos with him last month and was going to put them up in a photo dump with other stuff eventually, but I guess this post is just for him now.
“Dad, there are no words I can use to do you justice. You were a f**** legend… until we meet again… Rest in peace.”
Lisowski has received warm messages of condolences including from fellow snooker stars.
Judd Trump, one of Lisowski’s closest friends on tour, led the well wishes.
He said: “The absolute nicest person you’d ever meet.. love you guys ❤️”
Another player, Barry Hawkins, wrote: “Thinking of you mate. ❤️”
Former world champion Luca Brecel also shared kinds words, commenting: “Very sorry to hear this… much love bro ❤️”
