James Douglas Greenwell

James Douglas Greenwell, 62, of Bardstown, passed away Wednesday, December 24, 2025 at his residence. He was born October 17, 1963 in Lebanon, Kentucky.  Doug had the reputation of being an extremely hard worker.  He earned the title across town of being known as a “Tough Ol’ Bird.”  This was due to the fact that he never let his health conditions stop him.  He not only worked hard, but he did hard work and enjoyed working with his hands. He was considered a jack of all trades because there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do or figure out when he put his mind to it. He had a strong work ethic, and was dedicated to providing for his family, in which he was very successful.  He loved all his family, which included his immediate and extended. He was always willing to lend a helping hand whenever he was needed.  He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh.  He enjoyed taking rides in his side-by-side with his family and dogs, working jigsaw puzzles during the winter months, holding his little dog, Millie, and learning to play pickleball the last couple months of his life.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jane and Joseph Earl Greenwell; and two brothers, Keith and Tim Greenwell.

He is survived by his loving wife, Stephanie Greenwell; son, Trevor Greenwell; two brothers, Ricky (Pam) Greenwell, and Ron (Miranda) Greenwell; and sister in law, Carol Greenwell. 

His memorial service will be 3:30 pm, Wednesday, December 31, 2025 at Mill Creek Baptist Church. Visitation will be Wednesday from 1:00 pm until the time of service also at Mill Creek Baptist Church.
