Troy William Eckert

Troy Eckert, 52, of Huntington, Indiana was called home on Thursday, March 13, 2015 in Grayson County, KY. He resided in Breckenridge County, KY. He was born on August 1,1962 in Huntington, IN and graduated from Huntington North High School.

He had a talent for drawing out and making that wood; a piece of art for all to enjoy. His photographs were focused on landscapes, birds, animals, and nature as a whole.

He is survived by his daughter, Peyton, of Hardinsburg, KY; mother, Patricia Grice, of Fort Wayne; father, Gerald of Huntington; brothers, Shane(Marcy) of Fort Wayne, Todd, of Huntington, Tyler of Fort Wayne; and nieces, Amber and Alexis of Fort Wayne; nephew, Brock; and step-father, Wil Grice of Fort Wayne.
