March 9, 1958 ~ August 5, 2025

Christopher S. Pardue, 67, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and dedicated coach, passed away on August 5, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was born on March 9, 1958, to Carlston (Mutt) and Suzanne Pardue in Scottsville, where he grew up.
Christopher was a distinguished graduate of Allen County-Scottsville High School, class of 1977, where he later earned recognition as a member of the school’s Hall of Fame. He also held the honor of being inducted into the Boyle County High School Hall of Fame, a testament to his impact on the lives of many young athletes. For 42 years, he devoted himself to coaching at Allen County, Mercer County, Campbellsville University, and 21 years at Boyle County High School, often saying, “It’s not about me, it’s about the kids.” His influence extended far beyond the playing field, as he instilled values of teamwork, perseverance, and integrity in his players. Chris enjoyed the outdoors.  He especially loved spending time on the lake fishing with his dad.

Chris enjoyed worshiping at Carpenter’s Christian Church. Chris’s faith was a cornerstone of his life. He found immense joy in his family, especially in his grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, for whom he provided boundless love and guidance.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and community spirit that will continue to inspire those who knew him.
