Roger Lee Eddleblute

Born May 2, 1951, in Mansfield, Ohio, he was the son of the late Anna Irene (Alexander) and Clyde Virgil Eddleblute. He married Wendy Spayde in September 1969 and they shared many memories. Roger worked as a diesel mechanic and retired as a truck driver for Besl Transfer. He always had his faithful road companion, Trapper, by his side. If you couldn’t find him, you knew Roger was somewhere working on a truck. He enjoyed attending dirt track races and was a member of the Owls Club #1152 and F.O.E. #336.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Wendy Eddleblute; son, Bobby (Daenna) Eddleblute; a granddaughter, Chase Danielle Eddleblute (fiancé, James Fisher); a great-grandson, Bennett Daniel Fisher; two step granddaughters; four step grandsons; two sisters, Carolyn (Mike) Grieves and Nancy Pohl; three sisters-in-law, Mindy (Dennis) Crawford, Debra Eddleblute and Sue Eddleblute; and three brothers-in-law, Sam (Tammy) Spayde, Ed (Yoly) Spayde and Frank (Janet) Spayde.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Roger “Skeeter” Eddleblute Jr.; sister, Marilyn Metcalfe; two brothers, Rodney and Ronnie Eddleblute; and in-laws, Sam and Zella Spayde.
