Ernesto Mojica Quiñones, 74, of Olathe, Kansas went to be with our Lord on Monday, February 4, 2019 at Olathe Hospice House. He was surrounded by his loved ones as he took his brave last breath. His Visitation service will be 2:00 p.m.to 3:00 p.m. Saturday, February 9th at the McGilley & Frye Funeral Home 105 East Loula Street Olathe, Kansas. A “Celebration Of Life” service will immediately follow.
Ernesto was born on July 10, 1944 in Indang, Cavite, Philippines to Emilio and Lucia Quiñones. He married the love of his life, Milagros Antonio, on March 30, 1975 and they were blessed with three children. He loved playing chess in his spare time, watching baseball, early Saturday morning grocery shopping with his wife, browsing hardware stores, and tinkering with cars, clocks, and watches. He loved spring and summer, and could always be found soaking up the rays and the fresh air when he was not reading his Bible.
No one who has met Ernesto has forgotten his big, infectious smile. His smile brightened everyone’s day.
Ernesto was preceded in death by his parents and a younger brother, Victorino. He is survived by his beloved wife, Milagros, and their three children Joseph (Veronica Prince), Lavinia (James Hoffmann), and Maria Rosario (Michael Ludwig); grandchildren Dafne and Jared (Prince - Quiñones), Emma and Liam (Hoffmann), and Tristan and Lyanna (Ludwig); a great-grandchild Sebastian (Prince-Owens); siblings Norma Cayao, Lourdes Villanueva, Ruben Quinones and his wife Ester, Abelardo Quinones, Estrella Resurreccion and her husband Nemesio and sister-in-law Jennifer Quinones along with all of their children and grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial donation in his name to Evergreen Community of Johnson County (http://www.ecojc.org/). This place provided care for Ernesto and we thank all the nurses and caretakers who looked after him. Condolences may be offered at: www.McGilley-Frye.com
Isaiah 40:28-31
Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and to Him who has no might He increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
