He was one of ten siblings; (Shirl, Phil, Marg, Tony, Buddy, John, Wayne, Jim, and Rich). He loved and raised 3 children with his wife Peggy; Victoria, Troy, and Timmy, who gave him 10 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren which he loved so dearly.
In heaven, he will be reunited with his mother and father; Ernst and Nell Wagner, his sister; Sheryl Baker, his brother; Buddy Wagner, and his niece; Jennifer Raymer.
He was a retired 30-year employee of Bluegrass Cooperage, and an experienced Ferrier. His passions were horses, trading karaoke, story telling, and pulling pranks! He was a member of Cowboys for Christ, and we fully believe he is breaking in his new boots, body, and cowboy hats riding upstairs for the good Lord Jesus Christ.
