October 14, 1958 - January 25, 2021

Michael A. Stich "Tony" of Jeffersontown, KY, passed away with his wife (Amy) at his hospital bedside and 3 of his children (Whitney, Shelby and Joey) close by on January 25, 2021 at the age of 62. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Jacob J. Stich Jr., his grandmother, Sue Hall Stich, his father, Jacob J. Stich III, his father-in-law, Charles A. Thomas Jr. and his ex-wife (mother of 3 of his children), Stephanie Stich. He is survived by his wife, Amy Nicole (Thomas) Stich, his mother, Virginia F. (Alvey) Stich, his siblings, Pam (Van), Candy (Bill), David (Joanie), Penny (Jimmy), Nicky (Yvonne), Chrissy (Ricky), Missy (Mike), Mary (David), Becky (Buster), Shelly (Keith) and Diane (Kelly), his children, Jessica Lowe (JC), Will Stich (Chad), Whitney Stich Newton, Shelby Klein (Janie), Joey Stich (Ashley) and Poncho (fur baby), his grandchildren, Kayce, Jay, Mary Kate, Elizabeth, Charlie and Wyatt. He was currently with and had been for over 30 years, Consolidated Electrical Distributors (CED) formerly Peterson Electric as the head quotes man and sales. He graduated from Westport Road High School and is a Veteran of the Air Force after serving four years. He met his first wife, Maru, while stationed in Texas where they had his first 2 children, Jessica and Will. He ended up moving back to Kentucky after his 1st divorce and worked with his father for awhile. He met his 2nd wife, Stephanie, and they would have 3 children together (Whitney, Shelby and Joey). There was something so special about Tony that all three of his daughters were born on the exact same day exactly 7 years apart (one from 1st wife and two from 2nd wife). That was not planned and a very odd occurrence so a Newspaper decided to do a story about it when the 3rd daughter, Shelby, was born called “A Stich in Time". So it was very apparent that our beloved Tony was indeed a Miraculous Man! Life happened, time passed and then he met his 3rd and final wife and best friend, Amy. She adored him and his children so very much and always will. He was her Best Friend, her Love and her Person! They were together for a little over 12 years and had built a beautiful life together. Then Boom, The Pandemic started stealing lives and loved ones with no rhyme or reason. Covid-19 robbed us of our loved one! We were careful. We wore masks. We didn’t gather with others and we did our best to keep our distance. He still had to go to work and he was the one that went to the store for us. One wrong encounter in one split second Killed my husband. So if you get nothing more from this obituary than a heart felt warning – Please wear your masks, keep your distance, wash your hands, do not gather and stay safe and healthy!! Otherwise it may be you that has to write an obituary or someone may have to write one for you!!�� We all lost an Amazing Individual! He was a wonderful Husband, Father, Fur baby Dad, Grandfather (T-paw), Son, Grandson, Brother, Uncle, Nephew, Co worker, former Coach and Umpire, Bowling bud, and Friend! He loved his sports, dancing, the Sun, weather and loved watching/keeping up with storms (he was our Family weather man). He had a love/hate relationship with bowling which was his hobby and he loved our bowling family/league at Ten Pin Lanes. His love for all of those things are some of the many reasons I loved and still love him so. He had a great passion for Life and would do anything (well almost anything) for anyone. He trusted with his whole heart and was a very sensitive soul. He was a Teddy bear with a deep voice. He adored his entire family and we so adored him! We miss and love you Tony! Until we meet again and dance that beautiful dance!❤ We are having a very small private viewing to have a little closure and will have a celebration of life once it is safe to do so. In lieu of flowers you can make a donation in Tony’s name to either Hosparus of Louisville or The Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation.
