Whether he was on the sidelines of a Prestonsburg High School athletic event, or sitting front-row at a Mountain Arts Center show, Tom Baldridge was all about supporting the community.

 Baldridge was known as a “super fan” who loved his Blackcats.

Baldridge died October 25, but has left a small part of himself with the people who encountered him. 

Locals said Baldridge supported everything that the community did and touched everyone’s heart  he met. 

Especially those who work at the Mountain Arts Center, where Baldridge was proud to say he attended 975 productions before his death.

Baldridge was an integral part of the local culture and he will always be remembered.
