Nick Strong, whose Old Colony Insurance Services insured a large number of Kentucky farms, perished last week in a small plane crash in Lincoln County, Kentucky. Strong, 63, died along with Ronald Eldridge, 61, in the crash.
In addition to Old Colony Insurance, Strong was also Chairman of Jessamine South Elkhorn Water District, partner in N & R Enterprise & Bluegrass Industrial and a Special Deputy Sheriff for Jessamine County. He was an active board member for the Jessamine County Joint Economic Development Authority, Central Bank and Trust, and Kentucky Lloyd's Association of Agents.
He was also a member of the Keeneland Association, The Thoroughbred Club of America, National Professional Association of Insurance Agents, Thoroughbred Farm Managers, Independent Insurance Agents, Chamber of Commerce, and Home Builders Association.
Strong is survived by his wife Kimberly Strong (Froelich), his children, Sarah (Brandon Wells), Maggie (Alex Blanton), Lesley (Jared Hager), Lauren (Clayton Fitch) and Travis (Jen Cowley) and his grandson, Pierce, as well as his sister, Karla Martello, his niece and nephew, Jeff and Katie Martello, and his in-laws, Max and Brenda Froelich.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made in his memory to the Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP), your local Humane Society or Western KY Tornado Relief Fund via Southland Christian Church.
A celebration of life will be held in the Spring of 2022.
