Ernesto Marquez

Ernesto "Ernie" Marquez, 54, passed away in his home on March 19th, 2024. Born on December 29th, 1969, Ernesto was always so full of life and happy to be present and in the moment from beginning to end. He touched the lives of many people along the way with his charm and friendliness.

He graduated from Fort Lupton High School and went on to have three beautiful children. He stayed very close to his brother and two sisters, who loved him so unconditionally.
