Eric Koch Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Morgan Funeral Home - Netcong on Jan. 21, 2026.
Eric Richard Koch, 53, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones on January 18, 2026.
Eric was a devoted husband, loving father and friend to many. He is survived by his wife, Christina "Tina" Koch, his daughter Megan and his son Michael who were the greatest pride and joy of his life. He was preceded by his father, Harry "Bud" Koch and brother Mark Koch.
Eric worked as an HVAC technician, a role that perfectly reflected who he was - hard working, dependable and always willing to help. He took great pride in helping friends, neighbors and anyone in need, never hesitating to lend his skills or time.
Eric loved trips to the casino, and spending time on the golf course but what mattered most to him was being with his family. Above all else he was most proud of the life he built with those he loved.
Eric will be remembered for his kindness, huge heart and sense of humor - traits that made everyone around him feel welcome and cared for. His warmth and generosity left a lasting impression on all who knew him, and his memory will live on through the many lives he touched.
Private arrangements were entrusted to Morgan Funeral Home, 31 Main St., Netcong NJ 07857. Condolences may be sent to: NetcongFuneral.com To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Eric, please visit our floral store.
