Harold T. West 70, of the Poplar Grove Community in McLean County, Kentucky went home to be with the Lord on Monday, January 3, 2022 at his home. Harold Thomas West was born January 31, 1951 in Hopkins County, Kentucky to the late Marvin Thomas and Martine Logsdon West and was married to the former Nelly Starlene Beals December 21, 1974. Harold was a true farmer, family man and an honored friend. He was a Christian and a member of Calhoun Baptist Church. Harold served as a McLean County Conservation Supervisor and as a Farm Bureau board member for many years. Farming was his life-long career and his joy. He was a mentor to many young farmers and friends. If he wasn’t planting or harvesting, he was bush hogging or piddling at the barn. Harold grew up following the local racing circuit and went on to drive the family T-11 stock car for his dad for many years. He loved racing, watching NASCAR and attending local races. Harold was an avid hunter of anything with four legs and some with two legs (fowl). He hunted for over 60 years with his friends and his dogs. Coyote hunting became his favorite sport in later years with his best friends. Harold loved old westerns and John Wayne movies with his wife. If it had a heart felt story, he was hooked. Harold’s heart was as large as his life.
Survivors include his wife of 47 years, Starlene West; three daughters, Angie Beebe of South Carolina, Brandy West and Kelly Hodges (Rudy) both of Sacramento; nine grandchildren, Allie Richardson, Gillian Richardson, Chloe Melloy, Hadley Rice, Laynee West, Trey Manis, Kelsey Hodges, Weston Hodges, and Jase Hodges; two sisters, Sharon Anderson (Heavy) of Poplar Grove and Teresa Hudson (Sammy) of Owensboro; several nieces, nephews and many friends.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 A.M. Saturday at Muster Funeral Homes, Calhoun Chapel with Dr. Richard Sams officiating. Burial will be in the Poplar Grove Cemetery in McLean County.
