Joe Lewis Ogden, 84, of Sugar Tree Ridge, passed away Sunday, May 19, 2019 at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati.
He was born on Dec. 4, 1934 in New Market, to S. Nelson and Beatrice Bare Ogden.
He has lived near Sugar Tree Ridge all his life, except for the three years he spent in the U.S. Army, most of the time in Germany. He played basketball, baseball and football while in Germany. He retired years ago from the Concord Township Trustees.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two nieces, Julianne Ogden and Peggy Thomas; and two sisters in law, Patty Ogden and Ramona Ogden.
He is survived by one daughter, Amy (Rueben) Finley; one sister, Joyce (Donald) Sells of Indiana; three brothers, Jerry of Columbus, Julius of Grove City and James (Carol) of Sugar Tree Ridge; several nieces and nephews, Jo Heather (Scott) Arnett, J.D. (Darlene) Ogden, Jeremiah (Nancymae) Ogden, Rachelle (Mike) Galvin, Christopher (Katherine) Sells, Stephanie (Brian) Spear, Jeff (Kim) Ogden, Pam (Bill) Kemp, Penny Ogden, Lisa (Mark) Williams and Mark (Mary) Ogden; and special friend and caregiver, Vicki Russell.
Joe had the love of the land in his heart; after working in a factory to purchase his first farm, he had been a farmer all his life. He was ready and waiting every spring to start the planting and in the fall, anxious to start the combines to get going to harvest his crops. He was an avid trapper and hunter and very successful at that!
At Joe’s request, he is being cremated, and there will be no public service. Joe was a very private man. He will be sadly missed by family and friends.
The Thompson Funeral Home is serving the family. For more information, visit www.thompsonfuneralhomes.com.
