Jake Stephen

Baugham

Jake Stephen Baugham, 37, passed away on November 9, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of unforgettable memories, countless stories, and a whole lot of people who loved him.

Born on April 12, 1989, in Warner Robins, Georgia, Jake was the beloved son of the late David Stephen Baugham and Vicki Taylor Baugham, and the younger brother of Clint Baugham.

If there was one thing Jake knew how to do, it was make life interesting. Charismatic, fun-loving, and always the life of the party, Jake had a personality that could light up any room. He was fiercely devoted to the people he loved, and whether he was cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs, telling one of his many stories, or simply enjoying the company of family and friends, Jake had a way of making every gathering a little more memorable.

A proud American and Southern boy through and through, Jake loved his country, his Southern roots, and his Georgia Bulldogs. He loved fishing, spending time with family and friends, and, perhaps most of all, being “Uncle Jake” to his three nieces, Bailey (12), Harper (10), and Emma (8). He was happiest surrounded by the people he loved, sharing laughs, making memories, and turning even the simplest moments into stories worth telling.

Jake also had a deep love for God and his faith. Recently, he made the meaningful decision to rededicate his life to Jesus Christ through baptism, a special chapter in his spiritual journey and a testament to his faith.

Those who knew Jake knew that he never seemed to run out of stories—and chances are, everyone who loved him has a few good Jake stories of their own. His larger-than-life personality, infectious energy, and unforgettable sense of humor will live on in the laughter and memories he leaves behind.

But beyond the fun, the laughter, and the stories was a man with an incredibly big heart. Jake loved hard, cared deeply, and was fiercely devoted to his family. He was a loving brother, a proud uncle, a devoted son, and a friend who left a lasting impression on the lives he touched.

Like all of us, Jake’s life was made up of both beautiful moments and difficult chapters. But no single chapter could ever define the man he was. He was fun. He was loving. He was deeply loved. And above all, he was one of a kind. 

Jake is survived by his brother, Clint Baugham; his sister-in-law, Brandy Baugham; and his three beloved nieces, Bailey, Harper, and Emma. He also leaves behind his loving extended family, including the Baugham, Young, Pratt, and Cleghorn families, along with countless friends whose lives were touched by his love, laughter, and unforgettable spirit.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, David Stephen Baugham and Vicki Taylor Baugham.

Jake’s time here was far too short, but a life like his could never be measured simply in years. It is measured in the people he loved, the laughter he shared, the stories he told, and the memories that will live on long after his passing.
