During his 62 years on earth Monte was known for being one of the funniest guys you could ever have the pleasure to meet. His sisters recalled all the times he would crack jokes and how he would give every Karaoke performance his all. He loved spending time with his family, camping at the Stillwater beach- where he got the nickname "Monte 9 toes". Monte loved Mud Bogging and had collected a few trophies in his time. He also loved his fur babies very much, he was a dog dad to Bo and Abby, and they were his pride and joy. He was a member of the Church of the Brethren and always seemed to have a harmonica in his pocket. Monte also enjoyed riding his Harley. Monte leaves behind a life full of love and left his mark on anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him. He will be deeply missed by all.
The family will be holding a Celebration of Life on Friday, August 23, 2024, 10AM at Zechar Bailey Funeral Home in Greenville, Ohio with a service to follow at 11AM. The service will be officiated by Rev. Steven Watern. The family will be laying Monte to rest at Greenville Union Cemetery.

We ran into Monte a couple of times here in Greenville. I didn't know him before that. My wife Wanda said I would like him, and she was right. After talking for awhile it was clear to see that he was a man of confidence and clarity.
Our condolences go out to Montes family and friends. May he rest in peace.
