Hello, my name is Manuel Nava, and I’ve set up this GoFundMe in loving memory of my brother, Ernesto Nava, affectionately known as Ernie. 

Ernesto was an incredible person who left a lasting impression on everyone he met. At 60 years old, he was not only a loving brother, father, son, and friend but also an accomplished athlete. Ernie’s passion for boxing earned him remarkable achievements, including being a 2-time California Golden Gloves State Champion and a silver medalist at the Under-19 National Championships at the OTC. His dedication, resilience, and vibrant personality inspired so many throughout his life. 

Sadly, on January 13, 2025, Ernesto passed away, leaving behind countless loved ones who admired his strength and cherished his kind heart. As our family comes together during this challenging time, we are humbly asking for support to help cover his funeral expenses and honor his memory in the way he truly deserves.

Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward funeral arrangements and ensuring that Ernesto is laid to rest with the love and dignity he deserves.

From the bottom of our hearts, the Nava family sincerely thanks you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time. Your contributions mean the world to us as we say our final goodbyes. 

Thank you,

The Nava Family
