Joseph Eichorn Obituary, Death Cause – The tragic loss of Alameda County Deputy District Attorney Joseph Eichorn was a shocking and unexpected event that we learned about last week. Our hearts are filled with profound sorrow. When Joe was in the late 1980s, he began his career in the pursuit of justice in Kern County, where he worked under the direction of Edward Jagels, who was serving as the District Attorney at the time. A snapshot taken at Joe’s office at the Kansas Department of Criminal Justice (KDCDA) more than three decades ago is a powerful memory of his early days as a prosecutor and a monument to his devotion.
Throughout his illustrious career, Joe made the decision to devote his life to the worthy cause of assisting those who have been victimized by criminal activity. His unrelenting dedication to preserving the concepts of justice and protecting the rights of those who have been touched by crime will be recognized as a foundational component of his legacy. When Joe was working toward making society safer, his colleagues and peers alike recognized his passion, his persistence, and the compassion he shown in his pursuit of this goal.
The family of Joe is in our thoughts and prayers at this trying time. Please accept our sincere condolences and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Additionally, we would like to extend our most sincere condolences to the entire Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, which will likely be severely affected by Joe’s absence at this time. During this time of mourning for a public servant who was committed to his work, we honor the influence that Joseph Eichorn had on the legal community and the lives of those he had the privilege of influencing during his extraordinary career.
