In his spare time, John had formerly competed as a driver in both NHRA and IHRA sanctioned drag races.

On October 29, 1971, John married Connie (Peters) Ecenbarger and next month would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Also surviving are his daughter, Michelle Ecenbarger of Strasburg; his son, John (Nancy) Ecenbarger of Massillon and his brother, James Ecenbarger of Atwood Lake.

In addition to his parents, a sister, Susan Ecenbarger also precedes him in death.

In keeping with his wishes, a private family graveside service will be held in Grandview Union Cemetery at Strasburg with Pastor Jason Rissler officiating. To honor John’s service to his country, Military Honors will also be conducted by the Strasburg American Legion. The Geib Funeral Center at Dover has been entrusted with John’s service arrangements.
