Eldon Eichholtz

Eldon W. Eichholtz, 75, longtime resident of Laketon and Liberty Mills, died Friday, Dec. 9, 2022, in Majestic Care of New Haven .

Born March 4, 1947, in Rochester, Eldon was the son of the late Fred K. Eichholtz and Viola Mae (Blocher) Eichholtz. He spent his formative years in Fulton County and was married to Kathleen Warren on May 16, 1970, in Liberty Mills. Kay, as most knew her, and Eldon spent more than 38 years together before her death in 2008.

More personally, Eldon is remembered for his strong work ethic and as a good mechanic — he could fix most anything and could make engines run which most would give up on. He loved animals, especially dogs, and enjoyed traveling with his wife. He was an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. Army and was exceptionally decorated for his service as a medic in Vietnam; he received several awards for his service including two from the Vietnamese government.

In addition to his wife, Kay, Eldon is preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Victor Eichholtz. He is survived by a brother, Ronald Eichholtz, several nieces and nephews and a host of extended family.

Eldon was a dedicated member of Harvest Community Church, 512 South Seventh St., Pierceton, where visitation will be held from 3-6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022. Beginning at 6 p.m. Eldon’s church-family will celebrate his life. Final interment will be held privately in Swartz Cemetery, Wabash County. Titus Funeral Home, Warsaw, is entrusted with Eldon’s care.
