Derry Eynon Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate Derry Eynon of Fort Collins, Colorado, whose life came to an end on September 27, 2025 at the age of 92, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

Though Derry may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Derry touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Mildred Eynon (Williams) and Floyd Eynon. He is survived by: his wife Lois Eynon; his children, David Eynon (Diana) of Decatur and Amy Martin (Billy) of Dublin; and his grandchildren, Miruna, Gedrych, Mildred of Decatur, Gregory and Grace of Dublin.
