He was born Nov. 24, 1981, in Coldwater, Ohio, to Leonard Bihn, who is deceased, and Barbara (Siefring) Bihn Link, who survives with her husband, Dale Link, Portland, Indiana. On May 9, 2003, he married Elizabeth “Libby” (Clevenger) Bihn, who survives.

Also surviving are his children, Katelyn, Wesley, Wyatt, Sawyer and Piper Bihn, all at home; siblings Jeff Bihn of Ridgeville, Indiana, Jodi (Brad) Homan of Fort Recovery, Jason (Amy) Bihn of Fort Recovery and James (Megan) Bihn of Portland, Indiana; father- and mother-in-law Keith and Patti Clevenger of Ridgeville, Indiana; his grandparents, Cleopha Bihn and Irene Siefring, both of Fort Recovery; and in-laws Brian (Angela) Clevenger of Portland, Laura (Eric) Moore of Ridgeville, Indiana, and Nicky (Shawn) Blalock of Portland, Indiana.
