Summer Rogers Eichenbaum Obituary (2024)

Summer Rogers Eichenbaum Born on a warm summer's day in Corvalis Oregon, in 1978, Summer Rogers (Eichenbaum) entered the world, and the word will never be the same. Summer was the first child to her adoring and loving parents, Daniel and Gail Rogers. Summer grew up in Oregon and had a wonderful childhood alongside her younger brother Trask Rogers. To know Summer was to truly and deeply understand warmth, unconditional love, hope, selflessness, happiness, and strength. Summer met her husband of nineteen years, Aaron Eichenbaum, when both were 13 years old. They have been best friends ever since—Aaron has often said that had they been born 100 years earlier, he would have asked Summer to marry him then. Summer and Aaron had a wonderful life together with their beautiful children, McKenna and Liam. Their children are so, so loved by Summer and Aaron, and are their absolute joy. Professionally, Summer worked in marketing for engineering firms and in the banking industry. However, her most rewarding position was as a mother to her wonderful children. She truly found her calling in being a mom; lovingly caring for her children was so natural for her. Summer showed her children so much love and support, taught them life's important lessons, and set a great example of what it looks like to become more like Jesus every day. Summer LOVED being a mom to Liam and McKenna and loves the Lord her God with all of her heart, her mind, and her spirit. Summer is survived by her husband Aaron, daughter McKenna, son Liam, mother Gail DuBois, stepfather Phil Dubois, brother Trask Rogers, sister-in-law Shauna Rogers, aunt Berdie Myers, uncle George Myers, aunt Elaine Wenzlaff, uncle Bob Wenzlaff, aunt Cindy Miles, aunt Debi Wilcox, uncle Tim Faulhaber, aunt Ronda Faulhaber, uncle Alren Sheldrake, aunt Rita Sheldrake, father-in-law Chuck Carpenter, mother-in-love Shelli Carpenter, sister-in-love Danielle Carpenter, nephews, and many beloved cousins, and many wonderful friends. Summer Rogers Eichenbaum is an angel from Heaven, whose time here with all of us was way too short. She will be missed, loved beyond measure, and remembered always.
