Kenneth Eisele Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He was born on July 6, 1942, in Mitchell, Indiana, to the late Lucretia (Speer) Eisele and Harvey "Edgar" Eisele. On March 19, 1965, Kenneth married Carolyn (Harris), who survives. Together they built a loving home and family rooted in faith, kindness, and devotion.
Kenneth is survived by his daughter, Kelly (Tony) Strahl of Columbus, IN; grandchildren, Joshua (Sara) Johnson of Dearborn, MI, Kayla Bookwalter of Columbus, IN, Brittany (Jeremiah) Percival of Seymour, IN, and Tyler (Sophie May) Strahl of Fort Wayne, IN; and great-grandchildren, Elijah Johnson, Ada Johnson, Joshua Bookwalter, Eva Percival, Hallie Percival, and Amelia Strahl. He is also survived by his sister, Linda (Jerry) Henderson of Bedford, IN.
He was preceded in death by his brothers, Wilbur "Leland" Eisele, William Edgar Eisele, and Avon Loren Eisele; and his sisters, Barbara Maxine Pridemore, Delores Austin, and Florence R. Austin.
Kenneth proudly served his country in the United States Army from 1960 to 1963 as a Personnel Specialist. Following his military service, he retired from CRANE Naval Weapons Support Center, where he worked in Ammunitions.
A devoted member of Ogilville Christian Church, Kenneth loved the Lord deeply and lived his faith through his words and actions. He treasured time spent with his family and found joy in fishing and connecting with others. Known for his warm personality, he never met a stranger and always enjoyed sharing a good joke.
Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at Ogilville Christian Church in Columbus, IN, with Nelson Lee officiating. Friends and family may gather from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service. Kenneth will be laid to rest at Ohio Chapel Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Ogilville Christian Church Preschool. Condolences and special memories may be shared with the Eisele family and a video tribute may be viewed at barkesweaverglick.com.
