 Christopher Leroy Eichorn, age 57, of Ocala, Florida, passed away on December 2, 2023. 

Born February 1st, 1966, to Roger and Carol Eichorn, Chris lived his spirited young life in Glasford, Illinois, with his twin brother and best friend, Rodney, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.  

Chris was a 20-year Air Force Veteran retiring in 2005 with the rank of Technical Sergeant. He spent the last 10 years of his service stationed with the 89th Air Mobility Presidential Airlift Group at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, DC.  Chris continued pursuing his passion for aircraft after his retirement through many roles, professionally and as a volunteer.  

Chris loved to spend time outdoors fishing, hunting, and farming his family’s land in Glasford. The brothers harvested a record-breaking corn crop this year, which Chris would proudly boast.  Chris is survived by his wife of 26 years, Laura Macey Eichorn; three daughters, Kayla, Zoë, and Brianna; his mother, Carol; his beloved brother, Rodney; five grandchildren, and many dear friends and extended family.
