Richard “Rick” James Eisenhard, 68, of Lakeland, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on January 28, 2022. He passed away surrounded by family at Lakeland Regional Hospital due to chronic health conditions.
Rick was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania to Mahlon and Martha Eisenhard who predeceased him. He was the 4th of 6 children. He moved to Florida in 1971. He was predeceased by his brother Louis and his
sister Maryellen.
He retired from Caspers Company, McDonalds, after 42 years of dedicated employment. His favorite thing in life was his family, and it showed when he was surrounded by his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Rick loved to dance and have a good time.
He adored his wife, Suzy, and strived to make her happy. His wife, 4 children, 6 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren were his pride and joy and there was nothing he would not do for any one of them.
He always said that his favorite people called him “Papa”. He proved this every time he saw one of his grandchildren or great-grandchildren, and his blue eyes would twinkle with pure love for them.
Rick is survived by his Wife: Sue Ann Eisenhard; 4 Children: Mahlon Eisenhard and wife Kelly Eisenhard, Danielle Eisenhard, Daniel Marple and wife Cherilyn Marple, John Marple and wife Nichole Marple; 6
Grandchildren: Christian Childers and partner Annette Tracy, Chloe Ferrante and husband Anthony Ferrante, Gracie Marple, Brady Marple, Caleb Marple, Betty-Brooke Marple; and 2 Great Grandchildren: Helen Ferrante and Atticus Childers. He is also survived by his sisters, Madeline and Sheila, and brother Bernie, along with many nieces and nephews who all held a special place in his heart.
Rick will be remembered for his ability to make people smile and how he was quick to tell a joke and make people laugh. He positively impacted so many people’s lives both personally and professionally.
His family and friends will miss him dearly but are grateful for the memories they were lucky enough to have created with him
