Celebration of Life - Ben "Eddie" Ecklar

I never thought I would see myself reaching out and asking for help as hard as it is to help our family due to an unexpected and sudden death. On Friday, August 27, 2021, Benjamin “Eddie” Edward Ecklar III (53), a beloved son, brother, husband, father, uncle, and friend unexpectedly passed away.

Eddie was the most loving and caring human being, who always put God and his family first. He was always there for his wife and children supporting them throughout their lives no matter their struggles. He always had a positive outlook on life. There was so much he was still looking forward to and working towards for his family and their futures. He is painfully missed by all the lives he touched during his lifetime.

Eddie's wife, Nicole now faces the task of being the sole caregiver for their 6 children after many years of being a stay-at-home mom. The loss of her husband and their father now creates a huge financial burden as Eddie took pride in being the sole provider for his family. The Ecklar family is in need of any and all support we can give during this time of grieving and learning to live a new way of life without their Dad.

During this time, they will need help with funeral/end of life expenses, daily living expenses, mortgage, utilities, and all the other necessities that come with raising 6 children. These funds will help tremendously while they try to work out the intricate details of day-to-day life without him.

Please continue to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers and we thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide. Even if you are not in the position to help, please share this GoFundMe page with your friends and family.
