Charles R. Ecker, 69, of Indiana Township, crossed over to eternity, Friday, January 13, 2023. Chuck was in the presence of the Lord, while in the woods doing what he loved to do. God blessed him with a deer on his final hunt. Charles was born on March 27, 1953 at Armstrong Memorial Hospital, son of the late Charles S. Ecker and Betty J. (Telegdy) Vedro. He was a 1970 graduate of Fox Chapel High School. He retired from Cummins Sales and Service, Harmar and Gibsonia, where he worked as a generator diesel mechanic. Chuck loved the Lord, traveling on many mission trips to Russia, Guam, China, Nepal and Alaska spreading The Gospel. He was an avid duck hunter who also enjoyed fishing, shooting, and the outdoors, but his most cherished activity was spending time with his grandson Miles. He is survived by his beloved wife of 36 years, Margie (Sieber) Ecker; loving children, David C. Ecker, of Pittsburgh, Mary E. (Matthew) Robinson, of Hermitage; grandson, Miles I.R. Robinson; siblings, Julius (Julie) Ecker, of Indiana Township, Ray (Mary Ellen) Ecker, of Harwick, Dan (Debbie) Ecker, of Pittsburgh, Sandra (Mark) Bowman, of Plum Boro, Susan (Brian) Sagath, of Indiana Township; sister in-law, Tammy Hart; 16 nieces and nephews and 16 great nieces and nephews, and many great hunting partners.
