Obituary of Jerry Allen Eicher

It is with great sadness that the family of Jerry Allen Eicher announce his sudden passing at the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital on Tuesday, December 5, 2023. Devoted husband of Jennifer Eicher for 51 years. Loving father of Shannon Eicher (Chris Young), Megan Fanning (Ian), Mark Rodgers (Cindy) and Leslie Rodgers (Lisa). Cherished grandfather of Andrew, Michael, Emily, Cassidy (Shea), Logan (Vanessa), Gwendolyn and Benjamin. He is survived by his siblings Terry Eicher, Debby Steury (late Vern), Dean Eicher and Anita Timmerman (Bob). Predeceased by his parents Menno and Loretta Eicher and his sister Christine. Fondly remembered by many brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and many nieces and nephews, both at home, and abroad.

 

Over the years, Jerry positively impacted the Bath community through involvement with the Lions Club, Bath Fire Department and as a community policing volunteer. He was eager to be of service, regularly asking when he woke up: "how can I help someone today?". He was the one man Purdy Road welcoming committee, a kind neighbour and an amazing grampy. Always had a joke, smile, handshake or hug for everyone he would meet.

 

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. For those desiring, memorial donations to St. Marks Lutheran Church, or Diabetes Canada would be appreciated by the family.

 

Arrangements entrusted to Payne Funeral Home in Odessa. Please share your memories and condolences to the family.
