Lincoln T Eckenfelder
February 5, 2002 - December 30, 2025
Lincoln Eckenfelder’s loss is deeply felt across the community and at home. He is grieved by his mother Claudine, father Todd, step mom Rian, brothers Milo, Will, Max, and Wes, and his sister Cecilia.
Lincoln was thoughtful and discerning, but more than anything he was kind. He had a beautiful, sensitive heart, and a way of making people feel seen and at ease. He was a loyal friend, a loving brother, and someone who moved through the world gently, always thinking of others.
In his early years Lincoln was known as a uniquely kind, sensitive, sometimes stubborn, and engaging kid. He loved love, and he shared it easily, often with a smirk or a playful expression that could bring comfort and sometimes chaos to those around him.
Lincoln was a peace seeker and a natural healer: hard earned attributes in a world of unrest and confusion. He was deeply loved, and his absence leaves a painful and lasting ache. Lincoln is a beautiful soul, and the love he gave continues to live on in all who knew him.
Friends are invited to share memories with his family on Friday, January 16th from 5:00 until 8:00 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City. Guests are encouraged to use the parking and entrance on the north side of the building.
In Loving Memory
We are so heartbroken over the news of Lincoln's passing. My kids have such wonderful memories of growing up in the circle with your kids. Lincoln was always a kind and sweet boy. He was at our house a lot growing up. We love that he was part of our lives, if only for those young years. Our hearts go out to all those who will miss this sweet boy on a daily basis. Lots of Love Jeannie, Eric, Nick and Autumn Hill

Lincoln Was a really cool dude I remember I met him one day when he came into the store and we were chatting about cars and stuff and he's just like a really cool up and bright dude. He was a smart kid and told me he loved computers and building them. I'm sure you're up there looking down on everyone making sure everyone is good . It is hard when we loose someone but always remember he will always be with us. Rest in peace

I’ve only known Lincoln for about 6 months; But within that short time period came a very good friendship and life long memories. Lincoln was a very big inspiration for me personally, since I didn’t see my older brother much growing up. He was like another brother to me. He pushed me to stay consistent with my goals in life. For example, he pushed me to go to the gym everyday, he was pushing me to pursue my ambitions in life; and he also taught me manual. These things I’ll forever be grateful for! But his character as a whole also made me into a better person over time. He always put others first and was loyal to who he cared for. Anytime anybody needed anything or just wanted to talk he would always respond without fail. He was genuinely a great guy. The smallest details he would notice and think about because he was a very considerate person. This inspired a lot of people around him to spread the kindness and also improve their characters. My deepest condolences go out to all his family members, if y'all ever need any help with anything im here anytime.

I met Lincoln playing video games online. I never thought he’d become one of my best friends at the time, and he probably thought the same. Fast forward eight+ years and I never thought he’d be gone this soon. Lincoln was a great friend. He was loyal, spontaneous, and energetic. More than anything, I’ll remember how great of a listener he was. No matter the subject, work, sports, my personal life, he’d listen and give back the same energy I was putting off. If I was excited, he was excited. If I was upset, he was upset. If I was angry, he was angry. He was exceptional at making you feel heard. Multiple times a week, sometimes every day, we’d spend hours playing video games, trying to stay focused but almost always drifting into conversation about a myriad of topics. Whether it was his fitness goals, my love for sports, anything that came from school, work, or other life events, he was always easy to talk to and we always meshed. I’m thankful for the time I got to know him and the bond we shared. Our countless hours playing Rocket League, Shellshock Live, or just hanging out and chatting will never be forgotten. He’s the definition of a true friend and he will be dearly missed. May his loved ones find solace in the mark he made on earth. May he rest in peace.
