His presence, his antics, his laugh, and his belief in God were all larger than life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tab was born on November 22, 1957 to Amos Liechty and Beverly (Fenstermaker) Liechty in Decatur, Indiana. &nbsp;He graduated from South Adams High School in 1976. &nbsp;Tab was a proud member of the United States Marine Corps for 4 years. &nbsp;He was a dedicated member of the Bridge Community Church where he led the prayer team. &nbsp;He chose to live a life of meaningful acts of love and service, like Christ modeled for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tab was the kind of human that simply felt like home. &nbsp;He was a constant prayer warrior, role model, coach, lover of nature, and Steelers fan. &nbsp;Tab would often find himself in the middle of the Loblolly Marsh or anywhere outdoors, admiring the power of creation and his Heavenly Father. &nbsp;Tab was the ultimate storyteller, often stopping at each of his sisters\u2019 homes to have a cup of coffee and to share stories of his late night trips to the Bryant truck stop and tales of how each of his animals earned their names. &nbsp;Tab was a son, brother, uncle, antler shed hunter, house painter, and animal lover. &nbsp;He will be so dearly missed. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tab is preceded in death by his father Amos Liechty, grandparents Walter and Margaret (Maggie) Fenstermaker, and niece Candi Shannon. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is survived by his mother Beverly (Fenstermaker) Liechty; sisters Monica (Kent) Stoppenhagen, Tami (Jeff) Sprunger, Marie (Gregg) Nussbaum; nieces and nephews Tyler Stoppenhagen, Drew Stoppenhagen, Clayton (Erica) Stoppenhagen, Madie Stoppenhagen, Sidney Sprunger, Anna Nussbaum, Grady (Katelyn) Sprunger, Maggie Nussbaum; and his Belgian Malinois, Roscoe the Red. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitation will occur at Downing &amp; Glancy Funeral Home in Geneva from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Saturday, January 27th, 2024. &nbsp;An informal celebration of life will be held on Sunday, January 28th, 2024 at 2:30 PM at the Bridge Community Church South Campus in Berne. &nbsp;Visitation will also occur on Sunday starting 1 hour before the celebration of life. &nbsp;In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Braveheart Ministry of the Bridge Community Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arrangements have been entrusted to Downing &amp; Glancy Funeral Home, Geneva, IN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tab Liechty (1957 &#8211; 2024) was embraced into the arms of his Heavenly Father on Sunday, January 21,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[23],"class_list":["post-12394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-obituaries","tag-obit"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12394\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
