Jeffery B. "Jeff" Wagler

Jeffery Bryan "Jeff" Wagler, 63, of Bloomdale, passed away Tuesday, May 2, 2023.

Jeff, widely known as Bulldog, was born Jan. 29, 1960, in Lima, to Thomas and Laura (Cutchall) Wagler. Jeff's family is deeply saddened by his sudden death.

Jeff is survived by his dear wife, Lynette (McKee) Wagler; three cherished children, Thomas Wesley Wagler (26) of Sturgis, Michigan, Christopher O'Neil Wagler (21) of Bloomdale, and Jonathan Shane Wagler (19) of Bowling Green; siblings who will forever remember him, Dan Wagler of Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Amy (Wagler) Reddinger of Leipsic; nieces, Nicole Castillo and Danielle Wagler; and grandnephews, Xavier, Timmy, and Wesley.

Jeff was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Wagler; mother, Laura Wagler; and brother, Timothy (Tim) Wagler.

Jeff attended Leipsic High School and earned his G.E.D. later in life. Jeff was so proud to complete this accomplishment with the love and support of his family. For the last 11 years, Jeff was a truck driver at Hyway Trucking, Findlay. Jeff loved many things in life. Books were no exception, and when he started reading, he couldn't put a book down. Jeff would always have several books in his truck to read on his travels. Jeff also had a big heart for animals and he never met an animal that didn't like him. Jeff was also fond of classic rock music along with action and western films. His greatest pride and joy though came from raising his sons with his wife while watching them grow and succeed in life. Jeff had a deep and sacrificial love for his family and he enjoyed spending any spare moment he could with each of them.

Visitation will be 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. Saturday, May 6, 2023, at Findlay Bible Methodist Church. Jeff's funeral will be 1 p.m. Saturday at the church with Pastor Travis Johnson officiating. A private burial service will commence later the following week.
