Michael J. Eble, age 88, of Lexington, Kentucky, died Sunday, July 27, 2025. He was born in Louisville to Louise Grayot and Maurice J. Eble in 1936. Mike is survived by his wife, Juanita Stollings, and a brother, William G. Eble. He was a graduate of the University of Louisville School of Law, was an accomplished writer with articles published in multiple equine publications, as well as having written many political speeches. He loved horseracing and had worked as an agent buying and selling for many years. Mike enjoyed his many friends and sharing lively conversations on history, sports, horseracing and politics, along with stories and a poem or two.

Taken from one of Mike's favorite poems:

"I dream of romance and a song that rings,

Above the duller elemental things,

Not caring what happens to skies, grey or blue,

But to know that just one dream comes true."

A gathering of friends will be held at a later date.

Care Cremation and Funeral Service is honored to be entrusted with final care.

So sorry to hear of Mike´s loss. I have many wonderful memories of growing up on Hill Road, down the street from him. I dated his cousin Robert Miles during my senior year of high school. .....and we used to double date with him. After I moved to New York City and married Arnold, Mike used to come and visit us with his first wife, Mona. We all remained friends through all these years.

Mike was such a character. His presence filled the room. Remember him telling jokes with my parents when I was a kid. Really appreciated his wit and sense of humor as I grew older. Mom and Dad loved him. He will be missed . My sincere condolences
