Michael Baugh

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Michael Baugh, age 51, who left this world peacefully on November 30, 2025, surrounded by family, after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Though our hearts ache, we find comfort knowing that Michael is rejoicing in Heaven with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He is preceded in death by his father James H. Baugh Sr. and mother Shirley Ann Baugh. He is survived by his daughters, Allison Baugh and Chase Chreste, who will forever carry his love, wisdom and spirit in their hearts. He is also survived by his brothers, sisters, and nieces and nephew: Teresa Baugh, Robert Baugh (Barbara), Jamey Baugh (Beth), Jessica Woods (Nathan), Brandi Baugh (Jeremy), Christian Baugh (Alanis), Rachel Woods, Haley Soeder (Eli).

Born on July 10, 1974 , in Louisville Kentucky , Michael was a person defined by kindness, strength, loyalty, witty humor, and a heart that always had room for others. To Michael his greatest blessing was his daughters who were the light, pride, and joy of his life. He was a devoted and loving dad to his two girls, Allison Baugh and Chase Chreste.

Michael was a 1993 graduate of South Oldham High School, where he made lifelong friends and created memories he often talked about. He cherished his time on the football team as a quarterback and stayed close with many of his teammates throughout his life.

Those who knew Michael will remember his love for football and devotion to the Raiders. Win or lose, he remained a loyal fan throughout his life. He enjoyed watching the game and would talk football any chance he got. He also loved and cherished his work family at Republic Pneumatics.

A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, December 6 at 10:00 am. At Stoess Funeral Home 6534 West Hwy 22 Crestwood, Kentucky 40014. We will also gather for visitation on Friday, December 5 from 3:00pm to 8:00pm where family and friends are invited to honor his memory, and share stories of the incredible man he was.

Michael's warmth, laughter, humor, and love will continue to shine through his daughters, family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Michael´s family finds peace in knowing he is now healed and in the presence of his Savior. His faith carried him through his life and illness. Though he will be deeply missed, we trust in God´s promise that this is not goodbye, but ¨see you again.¨ Rest in peace, Michael. Your light, love, and legacy will forever live on.
