| About | Ernie “DE” Sandoval, beloved husband, dad, Papa, son, brother, son-in-law, father-in-law and friend, passed away on February 7, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones. Ernie graduated from San Marcos High School in 1974. He will be remembered for his quick wit, great sense of humor and unwavering support for those he cared about. He found joy in the simple things; spending time with friends and family, especially his grandchildren who were the light of his life. Whether cracking jokes, sharing stories or just being there when needed, Ernie had a way of making every moment brighter. Ernie had started backup with dirt bike riding and rode til his heart was content, meeting new friendships and reconnecting with old friendships along the way. He is survived by his loving wife, Ginger Sandoval (Philip), his daughter Brittany Jones (Sandoval), his stepson, Brandon Lopez, his mother Trina Sandoval, his sister Patricia Sandoval and his adored grandchildren Noa, Sean and Scarlett. Ernie’s presence will be deeply missed, but his sense of humor, kindness and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. |
