Ernani Salazar Nacario

Ernani Salazar Nacario, 48, passed away on September 19, 2026. Born on November 16, 1977, in the Philippines, Ernani will be remembered with deep respect and lasting gratitude for the steady goodness he brought into the lives of those who knew him. His presence carried an easy warmth—kind at heart, compassionate in spirit, and marked by a generosity that showed itself in both quiet support and openhanded care.

Ernani’s dedication to learning and service guided his path. He graduated from Ago Foundation College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Science of Nursing, a foundation that reflected his commitment to helping others. He went on to work in healthcare for five years in medical billing coding, approaching his responsibilities with the diligence of a hard-working man who understood that even behind-the-scenes work can make a meaningful difference.

Those closest to Ernani knew the joy he brought to everyday life. He had a gift for making people laugh, and his love of watching movies was matched by the value he placed on spending time with family. Above all, he was a loving son to his mother, a role he carried with devotion and tenderness—an enduring expression of the care he so naturally gave.

Ernani leaves his mother, Milagros R. Salazar; two sisters; and his brother. He was preceded in death by his father, Francisco A. Nacario, and his brother.

Visitation will be held at Funeraria Del Angel Anaheim, 2425 West Lincoln Ave, Anaheim, CA 92801, US, beginning October 9, 2026 at 3:00 pm and continuing until 3:00 pm (next day).

In honoring Ernani’s life, we remember a man who lived with compassion, worked with purpose, and offered others the simple, powerful gifts of laughter, presence, and love. His memory will remain a blessing to his family and to all who were touched by his life.
