Michael J. Ernest, 47, of Noblesville, passed away on Wednesday, May 28, 2025 at Riverview Health in Noblesville. He was born on April 7, 1978 to Arnold "Frenchie" and Elsie "Sandie" (Drake) Ernest in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Michael proudly served in the United States Air Force and Army, and retired from the Army in August 2024 after 23 years of service. He was deployed twice, serving in Iraq and serving as company commander of his unit in Kuwait. Michael was a realtor for Team Endicott, where his co-workers felt like family. As a pilot, he liked flying and traveling. Michael enjoyed coaching his children's football teams, mowing his yard and grilling for the whole family. He married Maggie on June 20, 2011 in Dothan, Alabama, and was an amazing husband and father who loved his family dearly.

He is survived by his wife of nearly 14 years, Maggie Ernest and their five children, Jacob, Madeline, Andrew, Charlie, and Max Ernest.
