Harold Wayne Acree, 71, of Campbellsville, KY, son of the late Gilbert Hulse and Nettie Mae (Shirley) Acree, passed from this life on Thursday, August 17, 2023 at the University of Louisville Hospital as the result of an automobile accident. He was born in Green County, KY on March 21, 1952.

Mr. Acree was a devout member of Truth Tabernacle UPCI, having been water baptized in Jesus’ name, and later received the gift of the Holy Ghost at a church camp in Freetown, Indiana in June 2022. He was a retiree of Ingersoll Rand, having worked over 42 years, primarily in the Special Build department.

Mr. Acree spent his life teaching his family the Godly values of a devoted and conservative lifestyle, and he lived his own as a daily example.
