Daniel E. Eizenga, age 70, of Cedar Lake, IN, went home to his Lord and Savior on Monday, February 23, 2026. Beloved husband of Linda Eizenga, nee Koster. Loving father of Joyce (Brandon) Beach, Patricia (Riley) Moldenhauer, Lisa Eizenga, and Brian Eizenga. Cherished grandfather of Joshua, Benjamin, and Alexander Beach, Ruby and Fia Moldenhauer.

Dear brother of Henry (Judy) Eizenga, Robert (Karen) Eizenga, Nancy Ruiz, James Eizenga, and the late George (Virginia) Eizenga. Kind uncle of many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his parents Henry and Muriel Eizenga.

Dan dedicated 42 years to his love of the railroad, teaching us all it’s a privilege to wait for a train. He was a passionate bowler, achieving two perfect games and regularly bringing donuts home to celebrate. He loved his friends and family and never missed an opportunity to play a game of Hearts. He cherished Linda, his precious wife of 45 years. Most importantly, he loved the Lord, and we celebrate that he is rejoicing in glory with his Heavenly Father today.
