Michael C. Eckenrod, 47, of Elizabethtown, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, June 6, 2025. Born on November 27, 1977, in Lancaster, PA, he was the son of Ricky Eckenrod and the late Lois Irene (Smith) Eckenrod.
Michael attended Warwick High School and went on to become a true jack of all trades, known for his talent with cars and his work as a dedicated shipping receiver. Michael was a man who found joy in the little things-spending time at car shows, gathering with friends and family around bonfires, and being present for the people he loved. His hands were rarely still, and his heart was always open. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
In addition to his father, he leaves behind his 2 brothers, Jesse and Brandon; his 2 sisters, Melissa and Mary; and many nieces; nephews; extended family; and many friends.
Services are pending arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Central PA Cremation Society, Inc. to assist the family with costs. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Michael, please visit our floral store.
