Ernest Collier Obituary

Ernest Collier IV, a former resident of Broomall, PA, died from natural causes on Friday- 8-18-23, at the age of 43 years in Jacksonville, FL. He did not wait as most children do to reach their first birthday before they can walk. He decided at the age of six months he was going to rise up, imagine his small arms as wings, climb out of his crib, and walk. That was his first adventure into exploring the world. After devoting 12 years of life to honorable US Navy service, he lifted himself to become a certified Aircraft Mechanic II. Ernest is survived by his wife Stefanie, 3 young children and has found repose in the hearts and minds of his Mother, Linda, Father, Ernest III, his brother, Chris and wife Leah, their children, and other devoted family members. Instead of flowers, a donation to The Wounded Warrior Project would be appreciated.

Sorry for your loss Cousins Linda, Chris & Families May Allah make his grave wide & spacious, shed His Nur (light) in it. May Allah allow him to answer the questions of the grave correctly and with ease. May Allah allow him to be shown his place in Jannah Firdaus A'la (the highest level of paradise). May Allah raise him from his grave on the day of Yammul Qiyyamah (resurrection/Judgement day) and allow him to receive his book of deeds in his right hand and make his good deeds outweigh his bad. May Allah allow him to cross the sirat swiftly to Jannah. May Allah lighten the hearts of his family and loved ones Ameen Ameen Ameen.

Much condolences to the entire Collier family....Ernest and I worked near each other at the Navy base of NAS Jacksonville FL...Whenever we would meet in passing during our breaks you can tell it was him with his big contagious smile; as I blurted out his name ..Hey Sonny! What's up man? And he would always respond with something positive and hopeful to say....We'd talk about his favorite football team the Philadelphia Eagles and the T- shirt his kids gave him as a gift....With "Dad" printed on it ...I am still processing his lost....I still can't believe that he's gone ...He was such a very nice guy ..You will be sorely missed my Brother Rest in peace Ernest "Sonny". God have mercy on your soul....
