Kevin Joseph Baughman has passed away at the young age of 29 years old. Kevin died from being struck by a vehicle on Thursday June 15, 2023 in Southern Tucson.
Kevin was born February 3, 1994 to Bob and Christine Baughman in Tucson, Arizona. Tucson is where Kevin spent his life and thrived. Kevin spent his childhood making friends and building bonds that would last his lifetime in his neighborhood and at school. He was always a people magnet and could make friends with anyone.
From a young age Kevin was always the life of the party. He had an infectious laugh, a booming voice, and a bigger than life personality. He loved life and lived it to the fullest day in and day out. Kevin was a beloved son and always went above and beyond to be supportive to his family and parents. Kevin was a friend that always became family to those around and close to him. While getting ready to graduate from Mountain View High School in 2012 he welcomed his first daughter, Brooklynn, with his long time love since the age of 14, Megan.
After graduation Kevin was determined to provide a stable and wonderful life for his new family. He began working for his fathers custom home building company where he quickly found his love for architecture and building. He also quickly encompassed his dads hard work ethic and skill sets when it came to building a piece of art and having pride in it. Over the next decade he would work hard along side his parents to grow their family business while making sure his own little family was involved every step of the way.
In February of 2020 Kevin and Megan welcomed their second daughter, Haylee. Kevin was always doing so much for so many people through his work and friendships. However, his heart and soul found solace in his home with his family. Above everything else he loved spending time with his daughters and wife the most. He put his girls before anything else and strived to make sure they had the best and most comfortable life as possible. He made sure they had plenty of kisses, hugs, and love each day. There wasn’t a day that he wouldn’t kiss Megan and his children goodbye before heading to work or an evening that wouldn’t go by without an I love you before everyone went to sleep. His most proud accomplishment was his relationship with Megan and having two daughters. Kevin was a dad and husband first and would have done anything for the beautiful family he and Megan created. He was the perfect girl dad.
Everything Kevin did was out of the love he had for those around him. His love language was acts of service and at the drop of a hat he would do anything for anyone. He would literally give the shirt off his back to a stranger in need. Spending time in the company of Kevin was special and should be remembered and cherished greatly. He will be missed by so many.
Kevin is survived by his mother and father, Bob and Christine Baughman; his wife, Megan; his two daughters Brooklynn and Haylee; an older brother Anthony and his wife Michelle; along with their 5 sons; his younger twin siblings Kenny and Lizzy; many uncles, aunts, cousins, and so many friends.
Kevin is predeceased by his maternal grandmother and grandfather Joseph and Elenor Barcia, his paternal grandfather Roy Baughman, his paternal grandmother Delores Tyndale, his maternal aunt Elizabeth DeMarco, and his beloved childhood dog Sheba.
Services will be held July 22nd at 1:00pm at Marana Mortuary. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to Kevin’s GoFund Me page that will help to support his families future endeavors.

Kevin: An honest man he’ll be at rest, As e’er God with His image blest: The friend of man, the friend of truth; The friend of age, and guide of youth: Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d, Few heads with knowledge so inform’d: If there’s another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this. You may be gone but will never be forgotten. I will always remember all the good times we had and all the trouble we got into when we were younger. I Thank God for the blessing of having had you as a friend.
From the first time we met, until we meet again, you will FOREVER be in our hearts! WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AND YOUR MEMORY WILL LIVE FOREVER IN ALL OF US!!! Rest in peace brother ♥️

man kevin you left us way to early, your smile was infectious and you had such a great life ahead of you, you will be missed by many. your name will always carry on with the berkbigler family
Kevin, my first son, as I loved to call him, stole my heart from the moment he came into this world. He was my Godson and my nephew. His laugh was boisterous and infectious. He was loud and welcoming. I’ll never forget the times we spent together. I took him for his very first tattoo.. it was way bigger than we imagined but it was the most meaningful, as it is the name of his daughter that had yet to be born, Brooklynn. He squeezed my hand till it almost broke but I didn’t mind. He was so scared to tell me that he was going to be a dad, but I’ll say this.. He was the most amazing and loving dad that I had ever seen. When I first held Brooklynn, he asked how it felt to hold my new Goddaughter. I was shocked to say the least. He was special in that way, always surprising those around him with his love of them! He loved his little family more than anything in his world! I’ll miss him beyond words. I’ll miss his laugh, his lisp, his crazy go get ‘em attitude, him. All that he was. God speed my first son, I’ll see you on the other side! ?
Kevin was always an outgoing guy. he was my best friend at that. My big brother. someone i looked up to. i remember being in his kicthen & he would be telling us stories, stories he had told many many times before, basically down to where we knew it word for word at that point. i never got tired of his stories. his stories will forever be the ones missed. i’d give everything to hear another story of his one last time… even it id already heard it 100+ times before.
You were a Brother/my Friend from day 1. I will Forever miss you ? ? Words can't describe how I feel ? I'm heartbroken. Your a Great Man my Brother. GBNF. ML&R ?

Kevin was like one of our grandsons. He had a big smile, lots of laughter, and cared for alot of people. He was always close to his family first. We enjoyed him and his family. We will miss him very much. I will not be able to attend I have chemotherapy that day but Dusty will be at your service. Much love Dusty and Linda.
We Regina and I offer you our prayers and sincere compassion and support as well as our condolences to you and all of your family members at this time of sorrow. We will God willing and I'm sure he, be there.
Kevin, you never failed to make me laugh. I'll always remember you as "Firecracker". You had so much personality and so much passion for life. You were a great father to your girls. A wonderful son to your parents and a fantastic man to Megan. So many of us loved you. You will be missed. Please rest in peace.
My heart is broken, my children’s hearts are broken as we mourn the loss of my nephew, their cousin. May God give you peace and reassurance during this unthinkable tragedy and may you receive Gods love in knowing you will see Kevin again. His body may be gone but his spirit lives on in his children and his soul lives on as his higher self. He is watching over his family and wants you to remember all the beauty and love he gave on his 29 years on this earth. Love you all ❤️?
My sincerest condolences to you all. Kevin was a fantastic young man and will truly be missed.
Dear sweet Kevin. You have no idea how much you are going to be missed by everyone. Please watch over your family members. Love you honey.
To the Baughman Family, Words can not express the sadness I feel for your family. May you be comforted by your wonderful memories and May Kevin Rest in Peace. Sincerely, Andrea Blattberg
