On Tuesday, January 16th, 2024 our family received tragic news that Ernie was found on the floor in the bathroom of his apartment. He was unresponsive and rushed to Christ hospital in Jersey City and has been in critical condition since. He suffered a severe brain bleed caused by his uncontrolled elevated blood pressure. He's currently on life support and our family has been informed that Ernie's prognosis is poor and it is not likely that he will survive his injuries.

Ernesto's former wife, Thess, and his 3 children, Greatchelline, Janelle, and Jaymar are asking for any financial help that can be spared to be used to support them during this challenging period. All proceeds will go to Ernie's medical, and end-of-life cost/expenses. We greatly appreciate your kindness.

We also ask that you include Ernesto Banaag in your prayers, and that he and our family may receive continued love, peace and healing through this difficult time.
