| Wickenburg Sun (Wickenburg, Arizona) Wednesday, August 14, 2024, p. A-5 Stuart Thomas Ecker, a cherished resident of Wickenburg, passed on July 9, 2024 in Montana. Born on July 10, 1942, in Canton, Ohio, Stuart was a distinguished retired pilot with Northwest Airlines. He was preceded in death by his father, Edgar Norris; his mother, Sue Thomas; and his brother, Robert Norris Ecker. A dedicated member of the Wickenburg Country Club, Stuart remained passionate about flying even after retirement, continuing to enjoy his personal planes. His interests extended beyond aviation to hiking, biking, working out, and maintaining his fitness. He also had a competitive spirit, particularly in playing pegs and jokers. Stuart loved to travel across the U.S. and Canada during the summers with his beloved companion, Peg Ellenberger, with whom he shared 18 wonderful years. His fondness for ice cream and jelly beans brought joy to many. Stuart was warmly welcomed into Peg's family and cherished the many friendships he formed throughout his life. He is survived by his loving companion Peg Ellenberger, niece Jill K. Rood, and nephew Robert Scott Ecker. A memorial to honor and celebrate Stuart's life will be held at a later date. |
