Ernest E Hume II, Vancouver, WA—With heavy hearts, the community mourns the passing of Ernest E Hume II, fondly known as "Ernie," who passed away on July 26th, 2024. Ernie was a Vietnam Veteran who exemplified resilience, passion, and an unwavering love for his country, family, and friends.
Ernie’s life was a testament to overcoming adversity. Despite being paralyzed, he continued to enjoy life to the fullest, particularly his love for riding bikes. He was an active member of the Tenino Drill Team and remained enthusiastic about bikes from a young age. Ernie’s stubborn and hard-willed nature was balanced by his gentle heart, especially towards his five grandchildren.
Ernie was dedicated to helping others. He worked tirelessly within the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization, assisting fellow veterans with their benefits. Known for his humor and sometimes sarcastic wit, Ernie was cherished by many for his ability to listen and share stories.
In the wake of his passing, his family faces the financial burden of his memorial and cremation expenses. His son, Ernest Hume, has organized a fundraiser to cover these costs and support the grieving family. The memorial fund aims to raise $6,000 to fulfill Ernie’s final wishes and lay him to rest at Cold Creek Ridge.
Ernest Hume shared, “My father did not have his cremation or memorial planned or paid. Aside from knowing his wishes, I’m left with all financial responsibilities. I’m asking for friends and loved ones of my father to please come together so I can lay him to rest. Your donations will cover memorial expenses, including the cost of the service, cremation, and support for our grieving family. Lastly, I ask to cover our family in prayers. His five grandchildren are broken, as is my wife and I.”
The community’s support and prayers are essential during this difficult time. The love and memories Ernie shared with those around him will be cherished forever.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Ernest E Hume II. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this challenging period.
