July 22, 1958 - August 08, 2023

It is with great sadness that the family of Ernie Martin announce his passing on Tuesday August 8th at home in the loving arms of his wife after a very brief but courageous battle with GBM brain cancer.

Beloved husband of Janet.

Loving and proud father of Christopher (Diana) and Joshua (Chelsea).

Cherished grandpa to Patrick. Brother of Terry (Robin) and Chris. Predeceased by his brother Wesley and his parents Donna and Ernest.

He will be fondly remembered by his cousins, his large extended family and many friends. Ernie loved his dogs Lucy and Frank and he was joined shortly after his passing by his much loved 17 year old dog Lucy.

Ernie had a passion for gardening, devoting many hours to the creation of his beautiful perennial gardens. He enjoyed spending his summers in the sunshine and on the beaches of East Lake.

He also enjoyed reading a good book, listening to his playlist on his iPod and cheering on his Toronto Maple Leafs.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the visitation on Saturday August 26 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at ARMSTRONG FUNERAL HOME (124 King Street East Oshawa).

A memorial service will be held in the chapel at 12:00 p.m. with a reception to follow.

If desired, memorial donations in memory of Ernie may be made to Team Chelsea Lost Pet Search via PayPal or e-transfer to Janniegee@rogers.com

Rest in peace Ernie. We love you.
