Artist and adventurer Victor Allan Eichhorn passed away on Friday, July 21, 2023, two days before his 78th birthday.
A veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces, Victor was a curious and talented metal sculpture artist who enjoyed travel. One of his great joys was teaching art and inspiring creativity in others, especially blacksmithing.

Victor is preceded in death by his wife, Clata Jean; brother, Curtis and parents, Elmer and Vera.
