Obituary for Jonathan Eckel
Jon Eckel passed away on July 9th, 2018 at the age of 67. He was known to many people as many things; husband, father, brother, friend, and confidant. His greatest joy in life was his family and he appeared fearless to make sure they saw him as strong and happy, to prevent them from worrying. As a father, he was unparalleled in his pride and love. His tremendous personality and stories were the life of every room he entered and he never failed to get a laugh from everyone. There is not a heart that he touched that doesn’t feel the loss of his passing, and he will be missed by everyone that was fortunate enough to have known him. He is survived by his wife Maryann Eckel, his sons Thomas Eckel and Kevin Pogoda, as well as his sisters; Christine Hooke, Nancy Dickinson, Merrily Eckel, and Suzi Eckel Groce.
