John Eichhorn Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 3, 2024.
John Charles "Jack" Eichhorn, aged 81, passed away on August 29, 2024, in Severna Park, MD. Born on March 5, 1943, in Baltimore, MD, he was a beloved figure in his community, known for his kind, gentle spirit and a warm smile that could light up any room.

Jack graduated from Mount St. Joe's in Catonsville, MD, and furthered his education at the University of Baltimore. Professionally, Jack was a Certified Public Accountant, where he made significant contributions to the Rates and Budgets department at both Westinghouse and Northrop Grumman.

A devout Catholic, Jack was actively involved in his church community, embodying the teachings of his faith in his daily life. He was a family man at heart, a devoted husband to his late wife, Joan Donohue Eichhorn, and a loving father, grandfather, and brother. Jack is survived by his daughter Rani Ruby, son-in-law Mike Ruby, grandsons Max, Cole, and Graham Ruby; daughter Ashley Eichhorn, grandchildren Sadie Thompson and Patrick Scullin; sister Mary Carole Eichhorn Kirkpatrick; and niece Kim Larrick. He was preceded in death by his brother George Albert Eichhorn III "Bert," and his parents Mary Jo Broderick and George Albert Eichhorn Jr.

Jack's hobbies included golfing with his late dear brother Bert, gathering with friends and family, spending cherished moments with his grandsons, enjoying the beach, reading, and engaging in discussions about politics. He was also a fan of savoring a "little splash of red" while watching his favorite teams, the Ravens and the Orioles. Jack also contributed his time and talents to his and his wife's favorite Community theatre group, September Song, by acting as their treasurer and avid patron.

Services to honor Jack's life will be held at Barranco Funeral Home, located at 495 Ritchie Highway, Severna Park, MD 21146. Visitation is scheduled for Thursday, September 5th from 6-8 PM, with the funeral to follow on Friday, September 6th at 2 PM.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association in memory of Jack, honoring his compassionate spirit. The Barranco Funeral Home of Severna Park, MD is assisting the family during this time.

It´s a privilege to be counted among his friends, he made the world a better place just by being in it.

For over fifty years Jack has been a very dear friend! We´ve shared many wonderful memories, from gatherings, weddings, births, theater, parties and those sad events, too.
We´ll always remember his kind manner, his sense of humor, and his strong love and support for his family!
Our love, thoughts and prayers are with his incredible daughters, Rani and Ashley, his dear sister Mary Carole, and his wonderful grandchildren who brought him such joy!! Jack will live in our hearts forever...
