He was born November 11, 1930, in Luray and was a son of the late Amos Benton Shenk and Nellie Painter Shenk. Mr. Shenk began preaching the word of God at age 17 and despite numerous health issues would occasionally still preach when asked. His career started as a bean picker for Hawkbill Cannery, then Luray Caverns, Schewel Furniture Company and Virginia Oak Tannery, to his position as town superintendent for the Town of Luray Public Works Department. He was a great carpenter and farmer. As he tended to his cows you could hear him singing songs of praise all through the fields. He attended Washington Bible College and correspondence classes from Moody Bible Institute. He pastored Beahm’s Chapel in Luray, Beach Spring and Thorntons Gap Regular Baptist in Sperryville, Va. Survivors include his wife of 63 years, Janet Aleshire Shenk, whom he married on June 30, 1951; two sons, Dennis Michael and wife Tammy Atkins Shenk, and David Wayne and wife Lynette Moyer Shenk, all of Luray; grandsons Garrett Allen and Corey Michael; granddaughters Samantha Lee and Danielle Frances; great-granddaughter Lydia Danette; and Garrett’s fiancée, Emily Vaughan. Also surviving are a brother, Joe Shenk and wife Elaine of Luray; three sisters, Jean Jauer of Beeville, Texas, Shirley Blosser and husband Herb of New Market; and Maxine Sullivan and Gene of Elkton. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by 12 brothers and sisters.
