He had a wonderful career serving his community as a highly regarded CRNA. He was dedicated to his profession, coworkers, and patients.

He is also survived by his mother, LaVelle Ernest, brother, Jeremy (Alicia) Ernest, sister, Jessica (Lance) Ernest, niece, Savannah Ernest, nephews, Austin Ernest and Mitchel Ernest.
His legacy lives on the values he instilled in his children and in the lives of all who had the the privilege of knowing him.
James was taken from us suddenly, and too soon. We look forward to the return of our Lord and Savior when we will be re-united with Jamie.
