Eben was a lifelong resident of Lafayette. At age 13, he became an Eagle Scout with Boy Scouts of America, Troop 19. He graduated from St. Thomas Moore in 1997, followed by his associate degree from Louisiana Delta Community College in Monroe. He attended Culinary College in Denver, Colorado, and was an excellent cook who loved spending time with family and friends.
Eben inherited his love for building and construction from both of his grandfathers. He took great joy in being outdoors, watching football, traveling, and skiing. We will forever miss his infectious smile, his laughter, sense of humor, charm, good nature, loving spirit, and big hearted personality. We loved his big bear hugs and towering height.
He worked alongside his father and sisters at Cornerstone, a family owned business, as the maintenance supervisor.
He was a wonderful and loving father to his precious daughter, Isla Grace Linscombe, who was the joy of his life. Eben was totally devoted to the love of his life, Candace Greer and was a devoted and loving son and brother.
Pallbearers will be Brian Marshall, Andrew Shenkan, Jordan Linscombe, Woodie Arnold, Darren Davis and Octave Forrester Schully IV.
