Robert "Bobby" Joseph Eckert, Jr., passed away peacefully on June 12, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. Bobby was born on November 7, 1989, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Chester, Pennsylvania. Bobby received his early education at the Timothy School in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, and his secondary education at Elwyn in Media, Pennsylvania.
Bobby spent his days enjoying the simple things in life. He was never far from his iPad, where he'd watch his favorite shows, including Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and Shining Time Station, while snacking on cookies and chips. His favorite activity was his weekly visits with his parents at his childhood home, where they would enjoy sunny days on his favorite deck swing, followed by many slices of pizza for dinner. Bobby's parents loved his weekly visits just as much as he did.
Bobby is survived by his loving and dedicated parents, Robert Sr. and Joanne, his brother Jake (Sydney), and his sister Julia (Matthew).
