Joseph “Joe” Steven Strang, 90, passed away peacefully on May 19, 2026, in Wichita, Kansas

Joe was born in Boise, Idaho, and lived in various towns throughout Idaho’s Treasure Valley. He moved to Wichita in 1955 and made it his home. He was a devoted family man, talented artist, and avid golfer who touched many lives through his kindness and sense of humor. He retired from McCormick-Armstrong Co. after many years of dedicated work. He later devoted many years to working and playing at MacDonald Golf Course until the age of 80 years young.

A gifted artist in many mediums, Joe found joy in creating and sharing his work with others. Whether painting, drawing, or exploring new artistic projects, his creativity reflected the thoughtful and spirited person he was. He loved spending time on the golf course and cherished the friendships and memories made there throughout the years.

Joe was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Debbie Lynn Strang, and his parents, Walter H. Strang and Stella Jane Dillon.
