Kirtley Ray Shouse, 75, of Owensboro passed away Thursday, October 29, 2020, under the care of Hospice of W. Kentucky. Kirt was born January 24, 1945 in Daviess County to the late Oda Shouse Sr. and Clara Tucker Shouse. The highlight of his life was when he trusted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and became a child of God leaving a great spiritual legacy with many family members following him in the faith. He was the owner of Vincennes Office Equipment, servicing business equipment in the area. Kirt was a great husband who was gentle and kind but also a jokester. He loved watching the news and weather keeping the whole family abreast of coming storms. Kirt also was known for having an affection for Moon Pies, sweets, and Dr. Pepper. He was the happiest being around his family especially, grandkids, great grandkids, and great-great grandkids.
In addition to his parents, Mr. Shouse also was preceded in death by his brother, Robert Shouse; sister, Betty Burden; and nephew Robert Eugene Shouse.
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of 24 years, Debbie Roller Shouse; eight children, Lisa Bochner, Kelli Maynard, Kirtley L. Shouse (Sandra) all of Vincennes, Indiana, Michael Shouse (April) of Lawrenceville, Illinois, Daniel Shouse (Stephanie) of Ft.
