Mitchell “Mitch” James Eichman passed away on November 26, 2020, at his
home in Plainville, KS, at the age of 44. He was born on July 31, 1976
in Hays, KS to Jim and Cindy (Hrabe) Eichman.
Growing up in Plainville, Mitch graduated from Plainville High
School with the Class of 1995. He attended the Diesel Technician Program
at Northwest Kansas Technical College in Goodland, KS. Mitch went on to
work for Farm Implement, Tom’s Machine for 10 years, and Gore Oil
Company the last 13 ½ years.
During his high school years, Mitch was strongly involved in the
Plainville FFA Chapter and was a chapter officer all four years. He also
held FFA District Officer positions his junior and senior years, and
was class President his senior year. Never one to forget a joke, he was
funny and often was told he could be a professional comedian. He loved
visiting with friends and family and was a great storyteller. He was a
collector and keeper of many things; never found to throw away a hunting
magazine.
Mitch was a good-hearted man who worked hard, enjoyed life and
cherished his family and friends. Although he was taken from us far too
soon, we know that those we enjoyed and loved, we can never lose, for
all that we love deeply becomes a part of us. We can smile because he
lived and left us with cherished memories that will live forever in our
hearts. He will be remembered in love.
Mitch is survived by his parents, Jim and Cindy of Plainville;
brother, Mace Eichman of Plainville; and sister, Manda Weien and husband
Ron of Plainville.
