There are so many great memories I can share about Earnest. He was great dad to his children and the best uncle to my children and a brother n law to me, who never forgot about me. He had a laugh that you could not help but laugh along with him when he was telling a funny story, as well as the best cake maker. He was there for me and my family (Harmon's ) during some of our sad and difficult times in our lives and our good times. We will never forget Earnest, our hearts are broken at the news of his passing.

Dear McKinney Family: I consider myself a very fortunate man to have been a friend to Ernest and to have been touched by his graciousness, warmth and kindness. Ernest used to love to recount his memories of a farm in Arkansas (where I believe he grew up), and we shared a love for farming, gardening and working the land; topics that we talked about frequently. What an extremely fine man, my friend, Ernest. God bless him and you all. With great respect- Brooks Jones
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We go miss you Unc. Your smile and stories go remain with us till we see you again. Go miss the long phone calls of you telling me about the old days and you laughing at my Dallas Cowboys.

It is with my sincere and deep regret that I have to say goodbye to this "Gentle Giant", the huge space he leaves on earth is even greater than the size of the man we could see with our eyes but as enormous as the ways he touched our lives. To my cousins near and far you have my sympathy and support, may the footsteps you fill guide you through your life's journey knowing that you were loved immensely by him and that you are loved by me.
