Christopher Allen Baugh, age 72 of Layton, Utah went to live with God on November 28, 2021 at Davis Hospital in Layton. Chris was surrounded by his loving family as he departed. Chris was born on September 7, 1949 in St. Louis, MO to the late William and Rosemary Baugh.

Chris graduated from Area Three High School in 1968 in Warrenton, MO. Chris enlisted in the U.S. Air Force on March 23, 1971 and served active duty during the Vietnam War until March 21, 1975. He was stationed primarily at Edwards AFB in California and Hill AFB in Utah. Chris remained as a Reserve SGT from March 22, 1975 until January 31, 1977 when he received an Honorable Discharge.
Christopher graduated from the University of Missouri at Rolla as a Civil Engineer. He worked primarily for Maricopa Health Department in Phoenix, AZ. Chris retired in 2010 and started his own business, Swimming and Pool Technical Services.

Chris enjoyed karate, camping, gun collecting, astronomy and anything his children and grandchildren enjoyed. Chris especially enjoyed finding new recipes online and trying them out on his unsuspecting family. He loved experimenting with food, sometimes good and sometimes not so good. Chris loved gardening and canning apricots. At one point, he had so much okra growing in his garden that he could not figure out what to do with the obnoxious, slimy vegetable. He always had cats living in his home, no matter how much allergy medicine he would have to take to keep them, he loved his cats. He was also known to help anyone that was in need.
He also enjoyed researching history, specifically WWI and WWII. Both his grandfather and father served in these wars. His father landed on Omaha Beach in Normandy, France and fought through Europe to the Battle of the Bulge. He came back from WWII on the Queen Mary which was being used for war efforts.

Chris was a loving husband, son, brother, father and papa. He is survived by his beloved wife, Linda; his loving children, Leon, Sabrina, Elizabeth and Matthew; his dear grandchildren, Taylor, Jasmine, Jaden, Katlyn, Andrew, Chelsea, Isabelle, Mickela, Anthony, Stephanie and Katie; and his cherished great-granddaughter, Colleen; his dear sister, Peggy Janssen and dear niece and nephews, Alina, Joel and Nick. He was preceded in death by his grandparents and parents, Rosemary on November 19, 2004 and William on September 26, 2020; and his great-grandson, Messiah Christopher Baugh on July 14, 2020.
