Ernesto Chavez, Ii

Ernie was born in St. Louis, Missouri on July 20, 1971. He was very close to his mother and sisters and is now laughing and telling jokes with them and his dad in Heaven; Ernie knew the true meaning of family. He most recently worked diligently as a home health care provider. His desire to help not only family and friends but anyone in need was evident by his caring and loving demeanor.

Ernie had a contagious laugh and smile that would warm your heart. He was very quick witted and was always able to keep a great conversation going. Ernie was a devoted husband and beloved father; he enjoyed being around family camping at Bloomfield, NM. He was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers and Fort Sumner Foxes Football fan. He was always heard cheering for Sammy #69 at home games.

Ernie is survived by his wife Gina Chavez, his daughters Angelica Chavez, Katrina Chavez and Mariah Chavez, one son Ernie Chavez III; step-sons Izzak, Luis, Sammy, and Juan Baltazar; and three grandchildren; several aunts, uncles; nieces and nephews and many cousins and extended family.
