With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Ernest Ward — a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend who touched the lives of many with his personality and strength.

As we come to terms with this loss, we’re also faced with the reality of funeral and burial costs. Our family is doing everything we can to honor Ernest's memory in a way that reflects the love and dignity he showed throughout life — but we can’t do it alone.

We are humbly asking for your help.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to giving Ernest the homegoing celebration he deserves. Your support means the world to us during this incredibly difficult time — and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, love, and prayers.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with others who knew and loved Ernest.

With gratitude,

Tameka and Family
