PictureDeacon, Ernest Schilling Barrera Jr

Deacon Ernest S. Barrera, Jr., 92, of the Great State of Texas, peacefully “relocated to heaven” on January 4, 2023 in Fort Worth, Texas surrounded by his family. Ernest was born October 26, 1930 to Sally and Ernest Barrera, Sr. Ernest was preceded in death by his loving wife of 58 years, Esperanza (Hope) Figueroa Barrera. He is survived by his children Butch (Amy) Barrera, Ron (Michele) Barrera, Rick (Dora) Barrera, Yvonne (Scott) Reddoch, grandchildren Jeremy (Aja) Barrera, Gabriel (Desiree) Barrera, Jerilee Barrera, Jason (Courtney) Reddoch, Jace (Tashanna) Barrera, Ricky Barrera, Tanner Reddoch, and Colton Reddoch, great grandchildren, Kaiya & Eden Barrera, Brooke & Brynn Barrera, Kara & Raegan Barrera, MaryGrace Reddoch & Ryker Heinold, Jordan (Stephanie), Anthony, Angelee, Rose, and Avery Heredia, and great great grandchildren, Eliza & Ezryn Heredia.
Ernest was raised in the hills of Helotes, Texas and was the oldest of 9 children. They enjoyed an active and adventurous life with their parents and huge extended family. He graduated from Central Catholic High School in San Antonio in 1949 where he was a Lieutenant Colonel of the ROTC. He was an excellent marksman earning many awards during his high school years, as well as using that skill to feed his family for many years. Ernest held many positions from carpentry to salesman of power tools to finally owning his own insurance agency until he retired in 1992. Dad and Mom traveled the country in their motor home and were blessed to visit every state before settling in Waelder, Texas. The life lessons and positive example he set for his family will never be forgotten. Ernest was generous with his time, always willing to help others with car problems,leaking faucets, building houses, etc. He could fix or build ANYTHING. He was skilled in all aspects of carpentry, home building, fireplaces, decks, bookcases, electricity, rock work, plumbing, and the list goes on and on. Those that he helped or gave one of his creations to still have those treasures from Ernest. He was an avid fisherman and knew the Texas Gulf Coast better than any guide. Our Dad loved TESTINGboundaries and his least favorite word was NO! 😊
To honor our Dad’s wishes, he will be cremated and a private service with his children and grandchildren will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to Universal Health Resources (Universal Hospice), 1208 Country Club Lane, Fort Worth, TX, 76112.

I feel very privileged to have know Ernest and Hope both. He was such a kind and gentle man. Always positive and encouraging. He always had a good attitude towards life even in the hard times. This is one of them. He would want us to carry his message for him I think. Be of service when you can, be kind to others in all things, be positive and uplift those around you. Adios mi amigo, Ernesto.
