Ernie was a very kind hearted man. He was always so very polite and respectful to everyone he was around. I sure am going to miss seeing him out in the neighborhood working on the flowers. God. Bless you. Ernie.
I will always remember Ernie. He was my uncle. I remember so many holidays of great food, debating conversations and always offering a helping hand. I remember years back when grandma was alive him going out and cutting down the perfect Christmas trees. He helped do the repairs for my 1st forever home. He has always helped my whole family when he was needed. His wife, kids and grandchildren are all great people. Let’s try to keep what family remains behind together. We love yall from the bottom of our hearts. Rest in peace Ernie and save us all a seat in heaven.
The Upchurch Family
Our love to Minnie and family.
