Ian Paul Eckert
Ian attended the Western Pennsylvania School for the Blind during his preschool years then Friendship Hill Elementary and currently was an 8th grader at Albert Gallatin South Middle School. Ian also attended Mount Moriah Baptist Church in Smithfield.
Ian enjoyed spending time with his family more than anything however he always liked to listen to music, play his keyboard, ride his horse buddy Jedi, play baseball for the Miracle League, go to Disney, and be entertained by the family pets Miriam, Samson and Spencer.
Ian had a complex medical history since birth however the family knew God had a special plan for his life. God’s faithfulness and strength helped Ian overcome many significant illnesses and several surgeries over the years. Despite his challenges, Ian always carried a smile on his face and a bounce that was his own style. He truly was one amazing boy and his family is so proud of how he handled everything throughout his 14 years.
