Funeral arrangements for popular Perris Planning Director Brad Eckhart have been set for this Friday at 2 p.m. at the England Family Mortuary at 27135 Madison Avenue in Temecula.
Mr. Eckhardt is survived by his wife, Edna; two daughters and a son.
Cards and expressions of condolences may be sent to the City of Perris, 101 North D Street, Perris, CA 92570. Those will be forward to Mr. Eckhardt’s family.
Eckhardt, whose work is credited with remaking the City’s historical and business districts, was killed July 4th when he lost control of his motorcycle and was struck by an oncoming vehicle while riding in San Diego County.
“Perris is a great City because we have awesome people who are passionate about their work and this community,” said City Clerk Judy Haughney, who also serves on the Planning Commission and spent many hours working with Eckhardt on a wide variety of projects. “Brad loved this City. He wanted Perris to succeed and become the best city in Riverside County, if not all of California. He brought hard work, commitment and passion to his job.”
Eckhardt, 48, was responsible for guiding several major planning and development projects through to completion, including the Downtown Specific Plan, the North Perris Gateway Plan, the Perris Crossing Shopping Center and the Hanes Brands Distribution Center, the largest green building in the world.
Eckhardt was fatally injured as he drove his vintage 1969 Yamaha motorcycle on a rural two-lane road east of Fallbrook. The California Highway Patrol said Mr. Eckhardt was driving alone when he somehow lost control of the motorcycle on the winding roadway.
RIP!
