Eric Bruce Schleicher

Eric was born on May 29, 1955. He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Julia Schleicher, and his wife Holly. He is survived by his daughter Haley Schleicher (wife Sophie), his sisters Karla Rinehart (Jeff), Gretchen Owens (Frank), and his brother Roland (Rosemary), and many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

Eric graduated from Carmel H.S. and continued his education at Purdue where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Agronomy. Upon graduation, Purdue hired him to take care of their athletic fields. He left Purdue to be a greenskeeper. His career which spanned several golf courses eventually led him to the Crestview Golf Club in Muncie, IN. Eric's wealth of knowledge about groundskeeping and care for the golf courses he worked at will be irreplaceable.

While working at Purdue, Eric met Holly Kimbrell, the love of his life. They married in 1986 and

welcomed their daughter, Haley, in 1993. Eric was a very dedicated husband and father.

Eric loved living life and always saw the best in any situation. There was not a person or animal he couldn't befriend. During his time at Crestview, he made a special group of friends that became family. He will be missed sorely by his family and many good friends.

A celebration of his life will be held at Mulligans Clubhouse Grill at the Crestview Golf Club in Muncie, IN on September 24th, 2023 at 2:00 pm
