Ernest G. Feasel

Ernest G. Feasel, 78, of Franklin, Indiana, passed away Friday morning, September 26, 2025, at Vita of New Whiteland in Whiteland, Indiana.

He was born on January 21, 1947, in Decatur, Indiana, to the late Charles G. and Betty L. (Foughty) Feasel. Ernest was united in marriage to Karla L. Meyer on November 19, 1965, in Decatur, Indiana.

Ernest honorably served his country during the Vietnam War in the United States Army.

He was a member of Gracehouse Assembly of God in New Whiteland, Indiana.

Ernest served as a Pastor from 1978 to 1999, serving congregations at First Assembly of God in Cleveland, Mississippi; Jasonville Assembly of God in Jasonville, Indiana; Assembly of God in Massillon, Ohio; and Assembly of God in Logansport, Indiana. In his retirement, he worked for 13 years as a catering manager for Chick-fil-A.

He had a deep passion for music and possessed a remarkable talent for singing — truly “a man of many choruses.” In his free time, he found joy in caring for his flower gardens.
