In loving memory of Ross Andrew Baecker, who was a cherished father, grandfather, and brother. Ross was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on March 30, 1978, to the late Dana Baecker and Dayle Baecker. He peacefully passed away on June 16, 2026, at the age of 48 and he will be remembered for his witty humor, adventurous spirit, and the profound love he held for his family.

Ross was a devoted father to his son Tyler Baecker and a caring grandfather to Cayden Baecker. He held a special bond with his family, including his dear siblings, Lauren (Chris) Simpson and Kurt (Anna) Baecker, as well as his beloved nieces and nephews: Ciera, Corbin, Coleton, Emma, Owen, and Luke. Ross will forever hold a special place in the hearts of his family, and her memory will live on through stories filled with love and laughter.

Known for his humorous wit and adventurous spirit, Ross had a passion for the outdoors. He found joy in camping, fishing, and traveling to beautiful spots like Red River Gorge and Michigan. Sundays were often spent watching his beloved Cincinnati Bengals, a cold beer in hand, while sharing laughter and stories with those he loved. He delighted in cooking and grilling, bringing his family together around the table to share meals filled with good conversation and joy.

In honor of Ross's life, the family will hold private funeral services and ceremonies in the days to come. They invite all who loved him to remember him in their own special ways, carrying forward his legacy of love and adventure. In lieu of flowers memorials may be to Red River Gorge Conservation , 420 Main Street Hazard, KY 41701.
