His journey on earth began July 23, 1956, Born in Santa Ana El Salvador to Indalecia Del Carmen Espinoza De Gomez Navarro, the Oldest of his brothers. Growing and thriving from a very humble background, residing in the mountains of Santa Ana, he'd walk to and from home and school in the city of San Salvador to pursue an education for a better life not only for him but his family. He was a pillar of support and strength from the very beginning. After studying and devoting himself familiarly, and education wise, eventually getting a bachelors degree in industrial engineering, The tensions from the Civil War brewing in El Salvador changed his direction in life. Given a visa for education, he sought refuge to pave a path for his family and their shared freedom in the United States of America.

He arrived in America in the 80's and went to a university to study English. Upon his arrival he continued being an immensely hard worker, working up to 7 days a week from several jobs, during this time he'd started making many ever-lasting friendships. Always healthy and an honest, pure man without any bad habits. In 1983, from one of the various jobs he'd been working, he met his present wife Angela Caceres, shortly after they fell deeply in love. The years that followed Ernesto began working for Guadalajara, In 1990 he'd successfully and proudly became an American citizen, by then admirably moving his family to America. As their relationship flourished, Ernesto along with his wife welcomed their first daughter, Vanessa Navarro, into the world within the same year. He then blessedly received a manager position working at El Gallo Mexican restaurant, where he began his life long position in creating his rich legacy of genuine heart felt connections. A few years time, he had another daughter, Samantha Navarro, beside his wife in 2001.

In his final decades of existence, he'd dedicated his time living and enjoying precious moments of support, growth and life with his two daughters, grandson, wife and mother in law. He nurtured his family with all the adoration and love in the world, additionally reflecting this love onto his companions and community. He worked triumphantly, his work wasn't just a job, he cherished it entirely from experiencing the enjoyment and adoration of many families and friends. He was like a home away from home, touching many peoples lives when they would come visit his restaurant. He embraced generations after generations of beautiful families. He devotedly followed God and Christ, following in his footsteps being an authentic,spiritual man. He will be profoundly missed by his family,friends and all that knew him.

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. -1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
