Dennis Clay Waugh

Dennis Clay Waugh, age 58, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on November 11, 2026. He was born on July 19, 1968, in Paris, Kentucky, and lived a life marked by hard work, loyalty, and a deep appreciation for the simple things that brought him joy.
Dennis was known by those who loved him as a steady and dependable man who took pride in doing an honest day’s work. He spent his career as a truck driver, a profession that reflected his strong work ethic, determination, and willingness to keep moving forward no matter the road ahead. He carried himself with quiet strength and was respected for the dedication he showed throughout his life.
Outside of work, Dennis had a lifelong love for old cars and enjoyed working on them. He found satisfaction in the details, the challenge of bringing something back to life, and the memories that classic automobiles often carried with them. His interest in old cars was more than a hobby. It was a reflection of his patience, his appreciation for craftsmanship, and his enjoyment of the traditions that connected the past to the present.
Dennis will be lovingly remembered by his siblings, Darren Waugh and his wife Mary, and Gail LaMoy and her husband Stanley. He is also survived by his niece, Jerrica LaMoy and her fiancé Allen Wright; his nephew, Justin LaMoy and his wife Scarlet as well as Jason Smith and his wife Jamie; his great nieces, Serena LaMoy, Abigail LaMoy, and Caylie Smith; and his great nephews, Dylan Mullins, Devin Mullins, and Logan Smith. His family will cherish the memories they shared with him and the lasting impact of his presence in their lives.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Lee Waugh and Geraldine Clem Waugh, as well as his brother, Robert Keith Waugh. Their memory remained an important part of his life, and he now joins them in eternal rest.
Dennis Clay Waugh will be remembered with love and respect by all who knew him. His life was one of quiet strength, family connection, and enduring interests that brought him happiness. Though he is no longer here, the memories he created and the love he shared will continue to live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
