Onwell V. “Sam” Strange, of Shepherdsville, KY, departed this life on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 91 years of age. He was born on January 25, 1935, to Elvin and Thelma Strange. Sam grew up on a farm near Mammoth Cave National Park where hard work and worshipping God were instilled in him. He had many wonderful days, but none to compare with getting saved at 12 years old at Stockholm United Baptist Church in a revival held by Bro. Amos Crenshaw and Bro. Charlie Ray. He spoke many times of that day when Bro. Ray preached of faith, hope and charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity. His text was, “Sinners, do you want that charity?” Sam wanted it enough to pray at an alter until God saved him.
Sam moved to Louisville in 1952 and had a distinguished career in management at General Electric for almost 40 years. He served in the Air National Guard and was honorably discharged in 1956. Sam sought out and found a church, Lone Hill United Baptist, where he raised his family. It was there he sat under the preaching and teaching of Bro. Alva Casey, who along with Sam’s father, would have the most influence on his life. Sam’s first wife was Marjorie Maggard, and their union produced three children, Kathy De Cano, Jeff Strange (Cathy) and Holly Shelton (David). He followed his calling to preach the gospel and preached for almost ten years. His preaching was strong and many souls were saved, thanks be to God. In 1987 Sam married Edna Mae Alvey, who was the love of his life. She had two daughters, Donna Warren and Pam Thornton (James), who he took in and loved as his own. Sam lived at his home in Bullitt County for 56 years and was able to pursue his love of farming with cattle, horses and chickens and a garden that would feed the U.S. calvary. It was important to him to stay there, and Edna Mae cared for him there until the end. He was a member of Fairdale United Baptist Church and Okolona Lodge #853 F&AM. He loved having his family and friends visit and had 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Sam is also survived by his sister, Vena Gail Kelly (Joe). He loved sitting on the patio and having them around him. He could talk for hours about the Bible, sports, politics and his garden. Sam was also preceded in death by two brothers, Elvin Strange, Jr. and Wandell, as well as one grandson, Shawn. Though he is gone now, he will be remembered always as the force that he was toward good. As he preached from Job, “If a man die, shall he live again?” We know Sam will and we will see him in heaven. The interment will be at Brookland Cemetery, Shepherdsville, KY.

He loved hunting and fishing, especially when those moments were shared with his only son and later his grandson—times filled with laughter, stories, and memories that will be cherished forever. Above all, James’ heart belonged to his church, Basil Chapel United Baptist Church, and to the rich harmonies of southern gospel music. His faith was the foundation of his life. In the 1980s, he was a member of the Gospel Travelers quartet, traveling to churches throughout the area and lifting his voice in song. Those who heard him sing could feel the sincerity of his faith and the joy it brought him. James was a devoted husband, a loving dad, a proud grandfather, and a caring brother.

For more than 26 years at the Barren County Vocational Center, he poured his knowledge and heart into his work, mentoring students and leaving a legacy of craftsmanship and integrity that will endure for generations. He found joy in the simple things of life. Kent was an avid collector who took pride in his eclectic collection of items, each piece reflecting his appreciation for history, tradition, and the beauty of well-crafted things. His collection was as diverse as his interests, each item carrying its own unique story. He was particularly fond of motorcycles, especially his Harley Davidson named Ethel & Maxine. He seized every opportunity to ride and tinker with them. Faith and service were cornerstones of Kent’s life. As a member of Park City United Methodist Church, he served as treasurer of the Pathfinders Food Pantry, a ministry especially dear to him.

She attended various United Baptist churches in Louisville after moving there for work. Nancy was a good and faithful employee of General Rubber Supply on Preston Highway in Louisville until she retired after forty-two years of service. Nancy’s family was her world! She was very devoted to her family, especially her siblings, nieces and nephews. She was truly a genuine giver to people, always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. Today is not goodbye, just “I will see you again!” She leaves to honor her memory— her nephews, Rick, Rod, Faron, Lennie and James Almon Hogan, Tim Roof, Bill-Bob Lindsey and Elmer Newkirk; nieces Rita Browning, Anita West, Lisa Eszell and Ramona Coleman, as well as a host of great-nieces and great-nephews and other family and friends who will feel her loss. Besides her parents, she was also preceded in death by her brothers, Rev. Freeman Hogan, Rev. Almon Hogan, Rev. Roy Hogan, Jethro Hogan and Victor Hogan; sisters, Silver Lindsey, Tina Mae Newkirk, Christine Vincent and Chloie Roof; a dear niece, Kay Vincent, and nephews, James Harold Newkirk and Rev. Dan Hogan. The interment will be in Midway United Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to: Midway Church Cemetery Fund.
