Ernie you were more than just a cousin to me you are my brother and best friend and I’m sure anyone who knew would say the same. There are so many memories and so many good and bad times that we have shared it is hard to single one out. Having you in my life has helped me to look at life differently. Your kind and helpful nature even when life was difficult made you an example for all of us to follow. Your sense of humor was your way of dealing with life’s hardships. It wasn’t that you didn’t care it was because you knew that no matter what the situation may be there was always hope. I will miss your visits and our long discussions on life and nonsense. I remember when you would pay me a visit and I wasn’t home if there were weeds in my yard you would pull them and leave me a nice little pile to show that you were there or rearrange the plants on my porch as a sign of your visit. I am going to miss your presence in my life and at all the gatherings that we would have but I know that you will forever be on my mind and in my heart with every song I hear, with the little sayings that you were famous for and most of all your loving smile and winning attitude that will forever be in my heart. Rock on 🤘 brother until we meet again. Love you and miss you dearly. 
God bless the Saenz family Gladis, Melissa, Diego, Bella, Kendra and Max. May God grant you comfort and peace. 
Blessings also to Gloria, Cindy and Tweety. 

My brother Ernie I will miss you so much.I will especially miss all ur jokes.Even though a part of my heart has gone with you  I will always have great memories of our love being  brother and sister. God knew he needed someone so special in heaven and chose you .We know ur in a better place but our hearts our broken. Love u ur sister Tweety🙏❤❤❤🙏

 Brother Ernie had an impact on everyone he knew.  A warm and caring soul who always had a smile to share.  In our youthful 20's he was always ready  for a pick up game of B ball....and would not let anyone deny him taking it to the hoop.....afterwards he would graciously provide the post game refreshments for the gang.....When we got the news, everyone in our family was deeply saddened.  I will always remember him as the ULTIMATE RAIDER.  John Madden once said "Self praise is for losers,  Be a Winner, Stand for something.  Always have class, and be humble".....guess He was talking about Our Greatest Raider....Ernie Saenz III.   Go easy Brother on the road of immortality....

Ernie, there are no words to express the loss  and emptiness I feel. You were always there for me, my best friend my ROCK! I will miss you dearly. I can only promise to be there for your family when they need me. Life is so unfair  sometimes. If I could turn back time and change things I would.  You are not here but you will always live in my ❤️.  Say hi to mom, dad, Marty and everyone else who is with you.  Love you forever…. Your sister Cindy

Ernie I am still in disbelief that you are no longer here with us. It is so sad that you were taken from your family in the manner that it happened you will forever be in our thoughts and in our prayers our most SINCERE AND DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO ALL OF YOUR FAMILY ❤️🙏❤️🙏🙏 love your cousin Dina "Buzz buzz buzz"

Ernie, it breaks my heart that you were taken so unexpectedly. You will always be Loved and will never be forgotten. May your Soul Rest In Peace! Always in my prayers- Cousin , Irene Lopez

Ernie, you were my dads best friend. For as long as I can remember, you always greeted me with a such an infectious & genuine smile. (Even now, in memory that’s  all I see when my dad talks about you.)  My fondest memory of you, is when my dad & you babysat my newborn son Eli (16 yrs ago).. we laughed and said it was 2 men & a baby & joked about the possible mishaps. Thank you for being such a beautiful spirit & being such a great support to my dad.  

Saenz family, please accept my heartfelt condolences I pray that your hearts find peace at your time of loss & may God be with you during this difficult time. I know his memory will forever live on in your hearts. 

Respectfully, 
Andrea (Steve’s daughter) 

To the Saenz family,

My name is Casey McNamee, I am a vendor just like Ernie, that worked for all of the car dealerships; that's where we became friends. I am terribly sorry for your loss, Ernie was a very decent and good man to me, even as a young man new to this business. I will miss our chats about football and life in general. The world lost a good man. Please know that my heart goes out to you. God bless you and your family, you are in my thoughts.

Casey McNamee
