EJ will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Helen; his children, Chrysta (Bill) McClymont, Charles (Alycia) Worst, Chad (Taryn) Worst; his grandchildren, Jordyn (14), Jacob (10), Adrianna (3) and Jett (1); along with his step-children, Tamara (Mike) Seekman, Amy (David) Platt, Debra (Chris) Engelter; his step-grandchildren, Jeffery (27), Desirae (24), Jacob (24), Hannah (21), Nick (18), Nate (17), and Chase (16); his step-great-grandchild, Parker (6); his siblings, Charles (Mary) Worst, Barb (Mike) Cain. EJ was proud of his children and grandchildren, and loved spending time with them. He had a contagious sense of humor that his family and friends will greatly miss. Ernie loved playing practical jokes, especially on his children and grandchildren. Throughout his life, EJ loved spending time in the outdoors through fishing, hunting, and golfing. It can be certain that he is grateful for all those times spent with his family and friends in the duck blind, boat, or on the golf course. Over the past 5 years, Ernie learned how to navigate social media and bombarded many daily with content that he thought recipients would find amusing. Ernie loved dogs, and the family is thankful that his lab, Lace was nearby when he passed. The family also welcomes memories and messages in the Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf funeral home guest book online.
