In the late autumn of 2017, the community of Oakland City, Indiana, marked the passing of a local man, Jeffrey A. Bichler. At the age of 56, the male resident died on Friday, November 17, 2017. His life was one rooted in the local industry and the simple pleasures of the outdoors.
Bichler was a familiar face at Azteca Milling, where he was most recently employed. Prior to that, he had dedicated his skills to Crescent Plastics. His work life was complemented by a love for nature, as he was known to enjoy hunting and fishing in his leisure time. His passing was noted in an obituary, which did not provide a cause of death but celebrated his life through his connections to his work and his passions.
He was survived by his wife, Wanda L. Bichler, a daughter, Jennifer Ivy, and a son, Tyler Bichler.
The family circle also included a granddaughter, Kaylee Ivy, and two stepdaughters, Kristie Cundiff and Linda Strickland. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Nancy Bichler. Publicly available information regarding his death does not indicate any foul play, and as such, there is no record of any arrests or suspects in connection with his passing. A memorial service was planned to be held at a later date for family and friends to gather and remember his life.
