EAA members form strong bonds of friendship through their shared passion for aviation. Here you will find the obituaries of members of the EAA family that positively impacted the lives of those around them. Each entry contains a memorial guest book for families and friends to remember and honor their loved ones.

Entries marked "MW" are also immortalized on the Memorial Wall located in on the EAA's grounds by Fergus Chapel in Oshkosh. Each submission for the Memorial Wall also includes a tribute page online in the year's Memorial Wall album and automatically lists the individual here within "Gone West."
