John Ernst Obituary
In Loving Memory of John William Ernst
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved brother, John William Ernst, who left us March 1, 2026, at the age of 66. John was born on April 29, 1959, in Canoga Park, California to loving parents William (Bill) and Carolyn Ernst. He was a caring brother, uncle, and friend whose presence enlivened wherever he happened to be.
John was preceded in death by his father Bill, his mother Carolyn, and his brother Mark. He is survived by his sisters, Laura and Linda; his nieces and nephews; and grand nieces and nephews. A memorial graveside service will be held at Oakwood Memorial Park in Chatsworth on March 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM.
We embrace the loving times with John and will forever miss him.
