Freddie Lee Tabler

New Lexington - Freddie Lee Tabler, aka, John Wayne, Arnold Schwarzenegger, passed away at his home in New Lexington, Ohio on June 17, 2019, he was 68 years old.

Freddie was born on July 24, 1950 to Bertha Ann (Goodin) and George Tabler; he graduated from New Lexington High School in 1968. He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1969 and was assigned to the USS New DD 818. He ended his career in the Navy as a Petty Officer E 5 Postal Clerk.

Freddie fought a long and hard battle with cancer and he never gave up. He often said he was so grateful and blessed that God gave him the time to pack his Suitcase and plan for the trip.

On February 11, 2018, Freddie married his constant and loving companion of 18 years. He loved being married to Valerie and said he couldn't understand why their courtship was so long!

Poker was a passion of his, he especially loved playing with his buddies on Wednesday at the VFW in Roseville. Freddie was an admirer of Leslie Cope and his work, over the years he acquired many of his paintings. He also enjoyed collecting and selling pottery from local potteries.

A Veteran and Patriot, Freddie was a member of the Roseville American Legion Post #71; the Fraternal Order of the Eagles and Crooksville VFW post #9090.

In addition to his parents, preceded in death by his sister, Sallie Vanoy.

Fred was very brave and intelligent and loved to prank people. If you were his friend, you were his friend forever. He had a great love for family, his family was first in everything he did. If you were a good friend to Fred, you were family to him.

Valerie and family. My deepest sympathy to the family at the passing of Fred. I only met him a few times when he and buddy Dave Freriks talking of times long ago. Fred touched many lives with his wit, compassion and honest love for all his friends..
May he be at peace now.
