Ekkian was a talented musician and spent much of his time singing and playing the guitar. One of his proudest accomplishments was his CD release, but he also played on Stacy’s Country Jamboree, and for many years in the band Silver Moon, where he played at many community events. He was a long time member of Holy Trinity Church, Waycobah, where he played the guitar and sang in the choir. He was very involved with children’s music in the church and at school for special occasions. In Waycobah he was well known for helping elders and fundraising for community needs.

Ekkian and Mollyon were foster parents for 25 years. Stephen loved to fish and sing with his 47 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren and 15 godchildren. He will be deeply missed as well by his many nieces and nephews.
