Adam James Troutman

Adam Troutman was full of life. He loved the simple things—walking, being outside, and finding peace in nature. He had a heart of gold and a deep love for animals, but the love he had for his family was even greater. He was only 27 years old when he was tragically killed by a hit-and-run driver while walking.

Angie Kash

Angie was a loved mother, daughter, sister and friend. She was a kind and caring woman known for her warm heart and gentle spirit. Angie had a natural compassion for people and a genuine desire to help those around her. She was the best mom a girl could ask for.

For many years, Angie worked as a pharmacy technician. She took pride in helping people and in the work she did every day. Shortly before her accident, Angie became a certified pharmacy technician and started a new position at UK.

On December 16, 2021, Angie was involved in a tragic accident after an elderly woman swerved into her lane and clipped her vehicle. When she attempted to correct her vehicle, it struck an embankment and flipped into a nearby field. The accident caused severe injuries and began a difficult fight for her life.

Through the months that followed, Angie showed incredible strength and courage as she battled the injuries from the accident. Surrounded by the love and support of family and friends, she fought bravely until August 6, 2022, when the Lord called her home.

Angie will always be remembered not only for her kindness, but for the incredible person she was. Her presence brought warmth to those around her, and her compassion left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

He was a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend. He enjoyed being outdoors, gardening, fishing, hunting, and walking the property every day (to get his steps, he loved his Fitbit and was very competitive with his steps). In his down time he loved to lie down on the couch with his little shih tzu Boo Boo and watch gunsmoke and drink a coffee (black of course). He worked in the coal mines for over 39 years. He died while trying to swerve to miss a head-on collision from a driver who had fallen asleep behind the wheel at approximately 1:30 pm, coming home from the grocery store. My mother was also in the car, but survived the crash because the whole impact was on the driver’s side. He was D.O.A. on the scene.
