Richard Ernst Obituary

Dear Sharon and family,

My sincere sympathy to all of you.
My heart goes out to you at this time.
Although I didn't know your son, I am sure he was a great person with a mother like you Sharon.

Dear Rick, Sharon, Jenny and Sara,

Love never dies. Ricky touched so many lives in so many ways, that he will live on. May happy memories of the love he shared with you all sustain you through this sad time.

Ernst Family,

I am deeply sadned by by your loss. Ricky was full of life and will always be remebered that way.

Dear Ernst Family,

Ricky is one of those people that you meet in life and they touch you forever. He is one of those that would do everything possible to make you smile.
He had a heart of gold. He was genuine in all senses of the word, and was one honest and true friend. I have gained alot of inspiration and advice from him over the years and i will continue to treasure them. I know i will never forget him and that wonder smile he had and also the big bear hugs he'd give.
I will keep the memories we've made for the rest of my life.

MY deepest condolenses.

Ricky had one the biggest hearts of anyone I know. He always did his best to make sure everyone around him had a big smile on their face. It hurts to know the time we had with him was so brief, but the memories I have of Ricky will continue to live on in my thoughts, and his kindness will forever be in my heart.

My deepest condolences to the Ernst family and all those who knew Ricky. We now have a wonderful angel watching over all of us.

Ricky was one of the nicest men I have ever met. He was always there for me, and stood by me if I was ever in trouble. We shared laughs, tears, hugs, good times and bad. I'll remember all the great times we shared. My heart goes out to every one in his family, who I've gotten to know so well over the years. You'll always be in my memories and heart Ricky. I know your watching over all of us.

Ricky was a dear friend, and a great person with a huge heart. He will be missed, and I will never forget him or the Ernst Family. He is in Heaven looking down on all of us now. He may not have been with us for as long as we would have liked, but we now have an angel watching over us. May God rest his soul.

Dear Ernst Family,

My thoughts are prayers are with your family during this very difficult time. I will always remember Ricky, waiting for me in the hall after division everyday so we could walk together.

Dear Rick & Sharon - We were shocked to read of your son's passing and extend our sympathies to you.

I could not have been more blessed than to have had the privilege of coaching such a focused, driven, hard-working, and honorable young man. The outpouring of positive memories of and feelings for Rick (from teammates his age, older, and younger) has been nothing short of moving. Our Lane Tech Lacrosse family will miss him dearly, but we are better and stronger for having the honor of calling him one of our own.

Sharon,
My condolences on your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
