He married Loree Ethene Harman Sept. 11, 1961, and lived in Northglenn in their early marriage and for more than 50 years in the country side of Fort Lupton.

He served on the board of directors for the Denver Grain Exchange and Colorado Grain and Feed. He attended the First United Methodist Church for more than 50 years and was active with the Fort Lupton Lyons Club for many years.
Ernie loved the dairy industry and dairy nutrition and consulted with many dairies in animal nutrition/herd health during his long career. He loved to travel the U.S. in a fifth-wheel trailer and shop for antiques and crackle glass.
Survivors include his wife; his children, Terry Unrein (Karen), Tanya Unrein (Terry Schwartz), Lara Disney (Howard); seven grandchildren, Justin Unrein (Dani), Terrance Tyler Unrein (Laura), Andrea Goering (Adam), Emily Marrs and Colton Marrs, James Disney (Savannah) and Megan Disney; two great-grandchildren, Aiden and Claire Unrein, who are the children of Terrance and Laura Unrein; siblings Cyril Unrein (Linda), Arlene Bohall, Dave Unrein (Yvonne), Melvin Unrein, Carolyn Cummins (Vince), Phyllis Unrein and Mary Kay Unrein; sisters-in-law Connie Peterman (Mark), Mary Unrein, Ann Unrein and Dee Harman; and brothers-in-law John Curley and Warren Bertrang

Those who knew Ernie know what a dedicated husband and father he was and how intensely proud he was of his children and grandchildren.
