Herbert Caudill, 80, formerly of Plymouth, Ohio passed away on Friday, November 27, 2020 at Knox Community Hospital in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. He was born on December 6, 1939 in Willard, Ohio to the late Lonnie E. and Eulah "Madge" (Ramey) Caudill.

Herb retired from Ohio Steel Tubing after 38 years of work. He attended Christ the King Community Church in Fredericktown, Ohio. He was a past master of the Shiloh Masonic Lodge #544 where he was a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason and a Knight York Cross of Honor. He was also a member of Baku Grotto in Mansfield, Ohio.

A true country musician at heart, he was the lead vocalist for his band, Country Persuaders, for 50 years where he also played the bass guitar and loved promoting area musicians. Throughout the state of Ohio, Herb was known for his music where he earned many honors including Male Vocalist, Entertainer of the Year and Duet of the Year numerous times within the Ohio Country Western Music Association.

Herb and his wife, Sharon, enjoyed traveling to McAllen, Texas during the winter months and made many memories and friends along the way. It was in Texas they continued to make music with other musicians. He enjoyed doing puzzles but most important to him was his family. They will cherish all the fond memories and miss him forever.

Herb is survived by his loving wife, Sharon (Eikleberry) Caudill; children, Jennifer (Jim) Shaver of Willard and Jeff (Mary) Caudill of Delaware, Ohio; grandchildren, Tyler Wagers, Nick Caudill, Alex Caudill and Eleni Caudill; twin sisters, Ernestene Thompson of Harrisonburg, Virginia and Pamalene Dotson of Willard; and mother of his children, Karen Pace.

In addition to his parents, Herb was preceded in death by his infant daughter, Melissa Caudill; and brother, Jerry Caudill.

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, December 2, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. at Greenlawn Cemetery in Plymouth, Ohio with Brother Marty Carty officiating. Herb's family asks that everyone attending please wear a mask and practice social distancing. Memorial contributions can be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

Sharon, Jeni, Jeff, Aunt Pam and all the rest of the family- We are so sorry for your loss, he touched so many lives with his music and beyond. Rest in peace Herbie! I am going to miss you very much. I grew up with your daughter and spent a lot of time around you and enjoyed every minute of them. You always kept things moving and moving we did when it came to you not wanting us to eat your fudge - that called for a good butt whoopin if we got into that! I will always hear you singing "The Gambler" - you were so awesome when you sang, I could listen to you all night. I am so glad that I got to spend the little time I did talking with you on you birthday and at Jeni's that day, I never would have thought then that we'd be saying goodbye so soon. You will be remembered by so many and missed just the same but you will be our hearts forever! We love you !

To Sharon and all of Herb's family: We were saddened to learn of Herb's passing. We have many many years of good memories of Herb and Families. We raised our families together and even lived next to Herb and Karen in Dear Sharon and Herb's family. We were saddened to learn of Herb's passing. We go back many many years with Herb's and our families to day one when we two couples were married just a month apart and lived in the same duplex on Portner Street in Plymouth. What times we had which made for lots of good memories that we hold to this day. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Blessings, M & L
