Dear friends and family,

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our cherished family member, Ernie "Twiss" Fuentes. He was abruptly taken from us on the 4th of July.

Anyone that knew Ernie knew they had a friend in him. He had the biggest heart- always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was a beloved husband, father, son, uncle and friend to so many. He brought so much love and light into our lives that his absence will forever have a profound impact on us.

As we come to terms with Ernie's sudden passing, we are faced with the difficult task of arranging his final farewell. Some of you may already know the heartbreaking story of Ernie's parents, Teresa and Dan. For those who aren't familiar, Teresa and Dan have three children together: Geno, Ernie and Rachel. They lost Geno unexpectedly in 2020 at the age of 42 and they lost Rachel to her courageous battle with breast cancer at the age of 33. They have now lost their last child, Ernie, at the age of 41.

On behalf of my grandparents, we are asking this community in great appreciation and gratitude to help alleviate some of the financial responsibilities they have had to face for the third time over the last five years. We are extremely grateful for any contribution you are able to make towards Ernie's services. Whether it be financial, sharing this page or being an emotional support to our family during these unimaginable times.

Funds raised will go towards funeral/burial costs and memorial arrangements. Your generosity does not go unnoticed and we are so grateful to be able to honor Ernie's life in this way.

We also appreciate your thoughts, prayers and messages of support during this difficult time. Your kindness is invaluable to us as we learn how to navigate through our overwhelming grief each day.

Thank you & God bless you all
