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.

Chris is survived by his parents, his loving wife of 40 years, Sherry Pardue, his grandchildren Siddalea Rose Gray, Emerson Dean Gray, Walker Aaron Gray and their father Adam Gray, his siblings Susan Pardue Carter, Ernest (Beth) Pardue, and Laura Spencer (Mike) Zachek, his nieces and nephews and great nieces and great nephews, along with countless friends who stood firmly by his side throughout their journey together. He leaves behind a legacy of love and community spirit that will continue to inspire those who knew him.

A memorial service will be 6 p.m., Monday, August 11, 2025, at Carpenter’s Christian Church, Harrodsburg, with visitation prior to the service from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, at Carpenter’s Christian Church.

  2. I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Coach Pardue. He was always so kind, supportive, and full of encouragement both on and off the softball field. I’ll always remember his positivity and the way he believed in all of us. His impact reached far beyond the game, and I feel blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all who loved him.

  16. I will never forget the many memories of both Chris Pardue and Sherry and his mother Suzanne. My family connection with the Pardues goes way back and many memories of Chris Pardue will never be forgotten. I will never forget that when I was a senior at Boyle county high school in 2001 and I was preparing to go to US Navy boot camp Chris Pardue would talk to me and encourage me and would let me use the gym during lunch hour to run around because his class was also on break. I will never forget the times I was down and depressed and I would swing by his classroom and he would cheer me up along with Coach Chuck Smith. I just enjoyed talking and listening to them talk football talk and I didn’t play football but they let me come and visit them in the football locker room during my lunch breaks or between breaks just to talk and listen to them talk football talk. I learned so much from Chris Pardue. I will never forget that in PE class I got hurt he came over and checked on me and me being a teenager I felt I had to hide the pain from the fall yet he saw through my toughness and told me it was okay to cry and let him know how I actually was. Many times I was bullied in in PE class and he would witness it and many teachers would just let it go but not Chris Pardue he always found a way to punish and teach the other students it wasn’t okay to bully and be mean to others no matter what the situation was. He always worked with me and when I did fall behind at one point he came up with a plan to help me catch up and get a good grade in his class. Chris Pardue went beyond what a teacher or coach should do to make everyone of his students and players be successful and feel they were heard and cared about. Thank you Chris, Sherry, and Suzanne for all your hard work and dedication to me over the years and for all you do for others. RIP Chris Pardue and remember you can play football now forever!!!
