Bryan Eppley Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Bryan was born Sept 19, 1958 in Millersburg, Ohio to Ed (Charles) and Dora Eppley. He married Mindy Asher and had 3 children: Lucas Rolince, Rachel (Mike) St John and Rudy (Shelby) Eppley. He had 7 beautiful grandchildren, that he loved dearly: Lexi, Brook, Reese, Isla, Asher, Sanibel and Atlas. He adored his grandkids and they adored him.
Bryan was a long time business owner and owned and operated Ohio Taxidermy Supply with his son Rudy in Killbuck. He was an incredibly talented artist and sculptor and received many accolades and awards in taxidermy. In August, he won the World Show sculpting competition with a Whitetail deer despite battling cancer. Bryan dearly loved the taxidermy community and considered it a a privilege to be part of such a wonderful family.
Bryan was an incredibly generous, loving, patient, happy and kind man. He lived his life for his family. He loved the Lord and loved telling people about the graciousness of God any chance he got. He loved nature and working outside, enjoying God's creation and puttering around with his dogs, Gus and Pepper. He loved working on the farm and fishing with his family and friends. He had such joy being with his family in Florida- boating, fishing and enjoying the food of Pine Island. His sense of humor and smile were unmatched and will be unbelievably missed.
Bryan was a son, husband, father, friend, grandfather, entrepreneur, a lover of life and lover of Jesus and the strongest man we have ever known. He leaves a huge void in the lives of those who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his father.
