David Christopher Eichenberg

Lansing - Age 61, joined his deceased family, including his Scorpion brothers on Thursday, May 30, 2019 while riding his motorcycle. His family and friends miss him deeply but know he wanted the end of his life riding his Harley. David graduated from Churchill High School in Livonia in 1976 and Lake Superior State in Sault St. Marie, MI with a bachelor's degree in fresh waters and fisheries, managed Parts Galore in the Detroit area for several years, then worked for the Corp of Engineers in Mississippi for 3 years, owned his own water analysis business and finished his working career with the State of Michigan, Secretary of State. David was an avid motorcyclist all his life and was a member of the Scorpions Motorcycle Club of Calhoun County. He loved his many rescued dogs, the out of doors, fly fishing, being near water, learning about anything under the sun and helping his wife unsnarl her electronics (well, maybe not so much). He will be remembered for his wit, intelligence and kind heart.

David was preceded in death by his father, Allen; mother, Margaret and brother, John. Surviving are his loving wife of 10 years, Lori Kriebel; his 4 siblings, Allen (Pat), Larry (Laura), Kathy and Terry(Bea); 3 stepchildren, Aaron (Carolyn Marie Keeney) Rivera, Nate (Kalee Charles) Rivera and Corey (Chris Purdy) Rivera; 3 grandsons, Joseph, Dan and Luca and numerous nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews and a host of loyal Scorpion brothers.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, June 8, 12:00 noon at the Scorpions MC of Calhoun County, 2002 12 Mile Rd, Burlington, MI with Chaplain Craig Findley officiating. Visitation will be held Friday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the Palmer, Bush and Jensen Family Funeral Homes, Holt Chapel, 5035 Holt Rd. Holt, MI. For those wishing, memorial contributions may be made to With A Little Help From My Friends (http://www.walhfmf.org) or New Hope Pet Rescue (http://www.newhopepetrescue.com) in memory of David. Friends may send a condolence to the family at www.palmerbush.com.

I'm truly sorry to hear of Mr. Eichenberg's passing. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. And that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.

I knew Dave in high school and considered him a good friend. We shared a lot of good--and not so good--times. He was one of the most life-loving, unique, people I ever met. He had a very big heart. Ride on Ike...

Kathy and family I am very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of talking to your brother at the Scorpions annual in Traverse City a few years back. He had heard my husband and I talking with someone and asked where we were from when we lived down state. Low and behold we found out we were from the same neighborhood and went to the school. I asked about you and took him I hadnt seen you since school. From meeting him that day he seemed to be a very good person. Again I am sorry for your loss. He will be missed by your family and his brothers in the Scorpions. You and your family are in my prayers

Ike was a very intelligent and personable man with a broad range of knowledge. We enjoyed his personality and wit in those brief times we were with him. Still have a vision of him on Lake Huron near Port Austin, pouring ice water over Lori during the "ice bucket challenge" days.
We are so very sorry for your loss.
Our thoughts are with you and your family.

We met David way back in 9th grade, he was a great friend. David would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He certainly kept us laughing. Love and prayers to the Ike Family.

I knew David while working with him at SOS. Always pleasant. Also enjoyed his posts on FB. He dearly loved his motorcycle, always posted things about them. He told me once that he had a place up here in Elmira that he came to, we were planning to meet a couple of times to visit but never got the chance. Lots of people are going to miss you. Prayers to your family and friends!

Lori,
Thoughts and prayers with you! I was shocked to read this but glad David went out doing what he loved. He always was a jokester when I seen him. He was great guy that will be missed. Thinking of you in these times.

Dave was the kindest, most generous, funniest man that ever lived. I was truly honored to call him my friend. So many great memories from working together and from the clubhouse. I cannot thank you enough for being a part of my life. Ride free love always

We met in 1967 and became lifelong friends. We had too much fun along the way, lots of laughter, a few tears, some scrapes, bruises and a little blood, and possibly a few too many cold ones on special occasions, (like any day ending in Y ). Like most young men, we were interested in music, girls, motorcycles, cars, beer and girls. The Ike family was my second family and vice versa. Ike was so intelligent, he was a math prodigy in grade school, got into computers and electronics in their infancy, and could do anything he set his mind to, never satisfied. He was my best man and my best good friend and as Forrest Gump said " Even I know that ain't something you can find just around the corner " God Bless Dave Ike and family... Steve and Debbie Wells
