It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved son, father, brother, husband, uncle and cousin. Ernie was called home by our Creator on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 at the age of 32 years.

Ernie was a kind, gentle, humble, very bright, and giving to his family and friends. To those who knew him well, you knew that he had a quirky sense of humor, always making jokes, making everyone around him laugh and feel happy to be in his presence. Ernie attended various schools in his young life. He was very artistic and passionate in creating tattoos. He was very good at training wild horses and horseback riding with his brother-in-law Kyle. He also enjoyed practicing his cultural values on both the Nakoda and Siksika First Nations sides. Ernie grew up in Alexander First Nations most of his life with his father Lee Eaglerib and step-mother Lori-Ann Paul.
