Stephen A. Ecker

Early Sunday morning, September 7, 2025, Stephen Andrew Ecker, 74, quietly passed over to his heavenly home while at Fulton Center nursing facility in Gloversville, NY.

“Steve” was born on April 24, 1951, in Middletown, NY, the son of Stephen J. and Shirley (Goettman) Ecker. He resided most of his life in Bloomingburg, NY and received his education at Pine Bush Central school (class of ‘69). Steve also served in the US Air Force. Afterward, he received additional training through Bell & Howell, Orange Co.Comm.College, and General Telephone, where he was employed for a time.

Among Steve’s many interests were his love of technology – especially television & electronics. He operated “Clearview TV” service for many years. Also, he worked in building maintenance at King Centre, servicing heating, A/C, plumbing, and electrical systems. There wasn’t much Steve couldn’t do - including building/servicing computers. He enjoyed helping others in any way he could. He was "Mr. Fixit" for all.

Steve was a musician and accomplished guitarist, playing often in high school stage band and many other community functions over the years. He was a man of great faith and a lifelong member of the United Methodist Church at Bullville, NY, where he served as a trustee and lay speaker. He also served over 40+ years as a member and sponsor for local A/A groups. A most beloved local personality, Steve would often be seen at the “Quickway Diner” visiting and consulting with the community.

In his later years, Steve valiantly struggled with Parkinson’s disease, which resulted in his stay at Fulton Center. Here, he was able to keep frequent contact and fellowship with family in the area, often going for outings – meals, trips to see old friends, picnics, and other family functions. He loved his music, holidays with family, activities at Dolgeville Christian Fellowship, and especially birthday parties for his friends at the Center.

Steve was predeceased by his parents, Stephen J. and Shirley Ecker and his sister, Bonnie J Pinto and husband Robert. He is survived by his sister, Dale Woods and husband John; and his brother, Jeffrey Ecker and wife Suzanne; as well as multiple cousins, nieces & nephews, and grandnieces & nephews.

Steve’s celebration of life will be held at the United Methodist Church, in Bullville, NY on Saturday October 11th at 2pm. A fellowship and refreshment time will follow.

Donations in Steve’s memory may be sent to Bullville Cemetery Association, P.O. Box 161, Bullville, NY 10915.

Steve and his family’s care have been placed in trust of Enea, Ciaccia, Applegate Funeral Directors.
