Micheal Lee Bush left his earthly home on May 21, 2025. He was many things to many people.

Husband to his beloved wife of 43 years Linda Lee whom he couldn't wait to get back to anytime they were apart, she was his true love. They resided in Lebanon, KY with their dog and two cats.

Dad to Lindsay Barsotti his only child who he constantly swore was the best daughter in the whole world.

Father-in-Law to James Barsotti whom he loved like the son he never had and played golf with every chance he got.

Pappy to his two granddaughters Zella- his roller coaster buddy and chess opponent and Neva- his puzzle partner and her "Sunshine"

What a privilege it was to love someone like Mike Bush. He enjoyed life every day. He was always true to himself and never hesitated to be goofy. He loved music and passed it down to "his girls" along with a passion for concerts. He loved a beautiful sunset or catching a glimpse of a wild animal on a long drive.  He was an avid UK sports fan and will go out as the reigning champion of his Fantasy Football League. He loved a good bargain and the art of negotiation. He looked forward to a good game of cards with friends. He was content. He liked to talk to people and hear their stories. He was a genuinely good man and friend.

He was everything to his family, he was our source of comfort and laughter... our true North. He has left a hole in our world, but we will carry his legacy of love with us the rest of our lives.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the fall with details to follow.
