James Robert "Jamie" Wardrip

Mr. James Robert “Jamie” Wardrip, age 43, of Brandenburg, KY, passed away on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at his residence.

Jamie had an adventurous spirit. He loved watching bull riding, riding motorcycles and in his younger days, demolition derbies and hunting. The most important thing to him, however, was being present in the lives of his wife and daughters.

Jamie was preceded in death by his mother, Monica Wardrip; his father and mother-in-law, Greg and Judy Allen; his grandparents, James “Bud” and Ella Grace Benham, and Charles “Teeny” and Shirley Wardrip; and his special friend, Johnny “Bubba” Thompson. He is survived by his loving wife, Stacey Wardrip; two daughters, Jacey Amanda and Amber Rose Wardrip; his father, Pat Wardrip; his brother, John (Stephanie) Wardrip; his niece, Clarissa Michelle Wardrip; two nephews, Jonathan Wayne, Jr. and Brandon Michael Wardrip; his cousin who was more like a sister, Timmi Michelle Cummings; his cousin who helped bring him close to Jesus, Terra Carby Pike; his two good friends, Mike Clark and Anthony Roeder; and numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family.

Visitation will be held at the chapel of Hager Funeral Home from 5:30 PM until 8:00 PM on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Cremation will follow the visitation. Expressions of sympathy may take the form of contributions to the funeral home to aid the family with expenses.
