Ernesto Molina Jr.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ernesto Molina Jr., who departed this world on February 17, 2026, at the age of 33. Born on February 10, 1993, Ernesto was a devoted father, beloved son, cherished brother, dear cousin, and loyal friend. His warmth and kindness touched the lives of many, leaving behind hearts that will forever remember his spirited laughter and unyielding love. 

Ernesto was a passionate supporter of the New England Patriots, often found cheering them on with fervor each Sunday while indulging in the joys of barbequing. His love for football was matched only by the love he held for his children, whom he cherished above all else.
