My dear Friend Ernest, I'm was so sorry to hear you have gone to your glory.
So many years have passed since we first met during a summer employment for teenagers at Randolph Air Force Base. We met as strangers but became good friends. We enjoyed each others company, the laughter, jokes,meeting your other friends from New Braunfels.I'm sorry we lost touch by the time I went to look for you at your house in New Braunfels one of your brother's informed me you were deceased and had been buried in Austin.
My deepest sympathy to your Family and your partner Bobby. I pray we meet in Heaven someday. Thank you my Friend for your Friendship I could not have picked a better Friend. I remember you with fond memories.

Ernest, I'm still in shock. I'm waiting for you to send me e-mail's, to text me, or to come by and talk to me and my mom. My mom..... she misses her "partner in crime." She will be going to Mexico and says it's going to be one of the hardest trips ever. Because she does not have her body guard. :) Even though we have known you and Robert for a short time, it's like we have known you two for many years. You have left us with a lot of good memories. Thank you my friend, not just to you, but to Robert. Because you two are my mom and I Angel's. You came to us and helped with Father Jessie and even after my dear Uncle's death, you two have been there for us all. THANK YOU!! Miss you deeply. Buckie

Prayers for Ernest and Family

Roberto, I'm wishing you the comfort of loving memories and the feeling that you'll always be connected to Ernest, one so close to your heart.

One of My favorite memories with Ernest, is our shopping trip where you & Ernest both helped me pick out my ring. We had so much fun sending funny pictures back and forth to Ron.

Ernesto was a teddy-bear with a big heart, and that is how I will always remember him. I have a dancer Christmas ornament that he and Robert gave me one year, and I will make sure to hang it and smile every time I see it.

Ernesto Trevino has been a good friend and brother while I was working at Acute Cate Services of Austin State Hospital. He was a warm loving person with great smile and attitude. He has a good sprit, friendly and easy going feller. He will be greatly missed. May his soul rest in perfect peace of GOD and our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

I was saddened to hear that Ernest had past away. Good bye my long time buddy, Ernest you will truly be missed, actually you are already missed.
Ernest had such a caring giving heart for others, always willing and ready to help anyone in need. He was always on the front line ready to fight for justice or a good causes. Always joking around speaking his mind, he always found away to make you laugh. (I have at least 20 years of good memories of Ernest when we worked together at ASH in the good old days as, we say) Robert, Ernest really enjoyed being with you, he was so happy about yall’s last anniversary it was the 25thor 26th year, it really meant a lot to him. My prayers go out to you, may God bless you and comfort you during your time of sorrow.

Robert,
You have my deepest and sincerest sympathy for your loss, our loss. Ernest was a tremendous person and the two of you are very special to me. As members of the Ballet East Dance Theatre Company Board, I shall always remember all the great contributions you both made to the company. The sense of humor that he brought to our meetings and gatherings and his wonderful laughter were especially contagious. Let us all cherish those memories and keep his spirit in our hearts, minds and souls. God does not make mistakes. When He went to tend His beautiful garden He simply picked another flower to make the bouquet and fragrance even sweeter. God Bless and comfort you and all the rest of the family as you celebrate the life of our friend Ernest. My prayers and thoughts will be with you. Realize that this too will pass, but our memories of Ernest will live on.

Robert,
I am deeply sorry for your loss, our loss. Ernest was such a joy to be around and always made me feel comfortable when we were together. The two of you were alway there for the Ballet East Dance Theatre Company. As a member of the board with you, I will miss Ernest's input, love, dedication and most of all his great smile. I like you have great memories and that is what will get you and all of us through this part of our lives. Although we will miss him he is in a better place and we will all see him one day. Keep strong and remember that God does not make a mistake. He chooses carefully all the wonderful flowers for his garden. His garden is now a much bigger bouquet. God Bless You and the rest of the family.

Earnest you were a great friend. I met you when we started the State Hospital 20 years ago. You will be greatly missed. Robert you have lost your love of life but his memory will last a lifetime. Remember the good and wonderful humor Earnest gave to everyone. Earnest actually cared for the people around him and all those less fortunate than him. I know he loved you in so many ways. Earnest you will be missed by many but your true friends will miss the crazy and wacky way you looked at life. Rest in peace my dear friend till one day we meet again.
Love to Robert and to your memory.
Love, David

I met Ernest around March 2010 and he was such a wonderful man. He took us under his wings and showed us a great time in Austin. I'm going to miss this good friend whom I just met but he made an impression on me. He was good.
