Ronald Lee Eichholz
July 9, 1943 – March 2, 2021
Ronald “Ron” Lee Eichholz, 77, of Jefferson City, passed on Tuesday, March 2, 2021 in McAllen, Texas. He was born on July 9, 1943 in Westphalia, Missouri; a son of the late Clem and Bernadine (Scheppers) Eichholz. Ron was united in marriage to Patricia “Pat” Natsch on October 16, 1965 in Jefferson City.
He was a 1961 graduate of Fatima High School. In 1962 he joined the United States Marine Corps, serving with 5th Marines and deploying in support of the Cuban Blockade and to Okinawa until his honorable discharge in 1965. He began working for National Cash Register (NCR) on his return home and retired from the company in 2001 after 35 years. After he retired, he rediscovered his love of woodworking and built furniture, eventually turning wooden bowls and pens. He enjoyed gifting them and would never accept money for his creations. Most importantly, he loved making memories with his family. In 2017, he moved back to the area and was happiest when spending time with his brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. He will be greatly missed.
Ron is survived by his wife of 55 years, Patricia Eichholz; children, Jeff Eichholz (Kristen) and Christina Rowe (Doug); brothers, Eddie Eichholz (Vernie), Norman Eichholz (Alice) and Jerry Eichholz; sister, Jo Ann Mertz (Ronnie); grandchildren, Jae, Jacob, and Jonathan Eichholz, and Connor and Hannah Rowe.
