Ernesto Enriquez Quintanilla's Obituary
Ernesto Enriquez Quintanilla, 81 passed away on Friday September 19, 2025 in San Bernardino, California after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Ernesto was born on August 10, 1944 in San Buenaventura, Chihuahua, and is survived by his wife Amalia, children Cecilia, Bertha, Isabel, Laura, Dayana, Mayra, Ricardo and his 15 grandkids and one on the way he didn't get to meet. He joins his children Angelica, Maria, Netito and Neto in heaven. As a father and grandfather he was generous, loving, kind, he was the best.
In his spare time he enjoyed gardening, talking on the phone with family and friends, listening to politics and listening to music. One of the things he enjoyed the most was to be in the company of his grandkids and talk about life and adventures. He enjoyed dancing with his wife, daughters and grandkids to any song that was played, he was the life of the party.
Ernesto was always there to offer help to his family and friends with no questions asked. He lived a life of simplicity, finding joy in the little things and cherishing the moments spent with loved ones. Whether he was telling captivating stories of his youth or offering sage advice. Ernesto leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience and cherished memories that will be carried in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
Though Ernesto may no longer be with us in the physical sense, the impact he made on our lives will forever remain. May he rest in eternal peace.
