Ivan D. Metzler, 91, of Strasburg, entered into rest on Monday, September 27, 2021 at the Quarryville Presbyterian Retirement Community. Born in Strasburg Twp., he was the son of the late Abram H. and E. Myrtle (Deiter) Metzler. He was the loving husband of the late Anna E. (Huber) Metzler for 63 years at the time of her passing on May 9, 2014. Ivan founded Metzler Mower Sales and Service in 1964. He remained active in the business until recently. He was known to faithfully come in and make coffee every morning. Ivan was an active member of Refton Brethren in Christ. He was also a 50-yr. member of the Strasburg Lions Club and was also a member of the Bunker Hill Hunting Camp in Tioga County. Ivan volunteered with Mennonite Disaster Services and also enjoyed restoring old mowers and tractors, as well as hunting. Ivan is survived by his 3 children: Donald, husband of Susan Metzler of Strasburg; Joann, wife of Jeffrey Brubaker of Strasburg; and Patricia, wife of Lloyd Reese, Jr. of Willow Street. Also surviving are 8 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and a brother, Earl, husband of Louise Metzler of Quarryville.
