Brendan Reed Eiler, 41, passed away unexpectedly on July 10, 2025, in Goshen, Indiana. He was born on May 3, 1984, in Mesa, Arizona. Brendan brought light and laughter into the lives of those around him with his sharp wit, boundless energy, and deep devotion to his family. He had a fun-loving personality, a great sense of humor, and a smirk, that could charm his way out of just about anything.

A graduate of Mishawaka High School, Brendan was known for his quick sarcasm and class-clown spirit-traits that made him unforgettable to friends and family alike. Beneath his humor was a deeply caring heart. He was a protector and provider who placed his loved ones above all else.

He is survived by his mother, Barbie (Chris) Wells; his father, Kevin R. Eiler; his fiancé, Crystal Crider; their children, Gavin, Samantha "Sam," and Nathan; his siblings, Kevin (fiancé Sarah) Eiler, Kasey Eiler, Brittany (Derek) Thomas, and Seth (Cali) Eiler; and his maternal grandparents, James and Coralice Maxey. As well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Brendan's paternal grandparents, Wallace "Wally" and Shirley Eiler, preceded him in death.

Brendan's legacy lives on through the laughter he inspired and the fierce love he gave so freely. May his memory bring comfort to all who knew him. He aspired to be an Around-the-World-Ninja-Cop.

Visitation for Brendan will be held on Saturday, July 19th, from 1:00 – 3:00 pm in Hahn Funeral Home 505 W. 8th Street Mishawaka, IN.

The Family request in lieu of flowers that memorial contributions be made to Hahn Funeral Home to raise funds for his children . Hahn Funeral Home has been entrusted with the final arrangements and extends their deepest sympathies to the Eiler family.
