Dr. Eisenberg was born on the 20th May, 1956 in Bronx, NY to Armand and Rosalind Eisenberg. He gained a PhD in Molecular Biology from SUNY Albany. He later went on to become a pioneer in the field of forensic genetics and helped thousands of families identify their missing loved ones.

Arthur and Debbie were married on August 1, 2004, inheriting his 3 loving daughters. In 2007, he then became Papa to his first of 6 grandchildren, Joeb, whom preceded him in heaven.

Art dedicated most of his life to his career and received many accolades, but his greatest accomplishment was his family. He loved his wife, children and grandchildren dearly. Art was also a loving brother to Marcia and Uncle to Katie and Amanda. He was incredibly kind, had a wonderful sense of humor and his generosity was felt by all.

In his spare time, Art loved to Golf, take naps in his chair, shop at Best Buy for the latest electronics, go deep sea fishing, and spend time with his animals and family.

He is survived by his wife, Debbie Eisenberg, three daughters, Breanne Goeke, Brandy Pendergrass and Kristin Davila, his grandchildren Sienna P., Evan, Keelyn M., Charley G. and Sloane G., his sister Marcia Eisenberg, his nieces Katie Wright and Amanda Pruitt, and his great-nephew Cody.
