Max Henry Ernest Iii

After a long and brave battle, PaPa Max went on to Glory on January 10th 2007. Max leaves a great void in the lives of his children Laura (Tom) Nieb, Mike (Dixie) Ernest, Bill (Sandy) Ernest, Scott (April) Ernest; his grandchildren Darcie, Kris and Andy Nieb of Arvada; Parker and Hannah Ernest of Fort Collins; and Liam "Boomer" Ernest of Wheat Ridge.
Max was a well respected leader in the Oil Industry who worked as a Petroleum Landman for over fifty years. He served as President of the American Association of Petroleum Landman. He was a member of the Denver Sertoma Club and served in many capacities with the Boy Scouts of America. Golf lost a huge fan in Max as he rarely missed a chance to play a round anywhere, anytime! His golf buddies will be at a loss to fill their foursome!
He is preceded in death by his parents Max and Elsie Ernest; Mary Ernest, his wife of 54 years; and his infant son Bobby. Another angel in Heaven, another star in the sky!
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated in his honor January 17th at 2:00pm at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church 1895 Miller Street in Lakewood. In Lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to The Rise School of Denver "Where Special Kids Shine" 4949 E. Eastman Ave, Denver, CO 80222.
