Jon List Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by James H. Davis Funeral Home and Crematory - Owensboro on Aug. 23, 2024.
Jon Kirtley "Kirt" List departed this world of chains and entered one of eternal freedom on August 21, 2024. Kirt was born a free spirit on June 11, 1964, to the late Frank Allen and Louetta Krahwinkel List. He was a 1982 graduate of Apollo High School. This is where he met his high school sweetheart and future wife, Vicki Henry List, the mother of his two sons, Allen and Christian List. True to his free-spirited nature, Kirt enjoyed riding motorcycles. He liked watching NASCAR, NHRA, tractor pulls, and football. Kirt enjoyed watching, coaching, and hearing about the sports that his grandchildren played. He also loved animals. Kirt performed many jobs during his career. He worked as a farm hand, drove semis, was a horizontal driller, and a mechanic for the Daviess County bus garage in his earlier years. He traveled the country working heavy construction, improving power plants and wood mills. Kirt was an iron worker, rigger, and mechanic by trade.
Kirt was preceded in death by his parents, Frank Allen and Louetta K. List; the mother of his boys, Vicki Henry List; and their faithful four-legged companion, Tex.
Kirt is survived by his two sons, Allen (Samantha) List and Christian List; two grandchildren (who could always get a chuckle, or a head shake out of him with their antics), Lilyan and James List; fiancée, Denise Deloach; two sisters, Kandi (David) Gilbreath and Krystal (Jeff) Phelps; several aunts and uncles; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends that he made along the way.
A private family burial will be held at a later date at Owensboro Memorial Gardens.

Kirt was my brother in law at one time when he was married to my sister, Faith Ann Snyder List. I loved him so much and will miss him dearly

Kirt you were a special friend to my mom and myself for over 25 years. It's still hard to grasp that you're gone . My heart hurts I miss our "life talks" it was wonderful to be friends with you cause we could talk about anything. I still have the Bible you wrote me a Xmas message in and gave me and the couple of other mementos you gave me. I'll see you again one day but until then I know you smile down on me. Being without you and my nom is so hard because it was just 2 and 3 years ago the 3 of us sat in moms living room laughing and cutting up and now I've lost you both and the pain is so deep. I love you buddy
