Ryan D Eckhardt of Lake Havasu City, AZ, went to be with our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ, on the 7th day of December 2023 while doing the
thing he loved most - riding his motorcycle.

Ryan moved to Lake Havasu City in 1996. He had a kind-hearted soul and
was loved by his family and friends. He was involved in many groups and
wanted to make a difference in people's lives. He would always go out of
his way to help people and make them feel welcome.

Ryan was a member of the Recovery on the River Narcotics Anonymous group
and was in service at the local and regional levels throughout his 29
years of recovery. He traveled to many conventions, spiritual retreats,
and men's retreats over the years and always went out of the way to make
new people feel welcome. All truly loved him.

Ryan met the love of his life, Linda, at Havasu Lanes after being
introduced to her by his best friends Randy and Mardel. They married on
November 26th, 2004, and have enjoyed their lives together. They had fun
together playing softball, being part of bowling leagues, playing cards
with friends, visiting family across the country, and riding
motorcycles.

Ryan was preceded by his parents, Donald and Elvira, and his good friend
Larry. He is survived by his sisters, Teri and Kelley, his brother
Jason, and his four children, Anna, Liz, Shelby, and Charlene. As well
as Linda's two children, Trish and Trina. Plus, his six grandkids, Cody,
Kailee, Joey, Cade, Jace and Aria.

Ryan and Linda joined the Lamb of God Lutheran Church in 2008, where
Ryan was baptized on their anniversary. Ryan was involved with the
church, filling positions as usher, collection, communion, and elder.
His faith was guided through the church's fellowship, which gave
strength and guidance.
