Ernest (Ernie) Paradis Obituary
Ernest (Ernie) Bernard Paradis
December 18, 1953 ~ August 8, 2024
Ernie was born at St. Paul, Alberta on December 18, 1953, to Ernest & Elizabeth (Betty) Paradis (nee Whitford). The oldest son with five siblings was raised north of Ashmont on a farm. Ernie loved being outdoors and found some ingenious ways to skip school. From a young age Ernie loved to work, on the farm was where he was taught the work ethic that he lived by. At 15 Ernie was working away from home and did for most of his employed years. Though he was a talented man at many things, running heavy equipment was his favourite occupation. Ernie loved what he did, and it showed in his ability to “finish” the projects he was working on. He was a respected employee with many friends. In September ’94 while working in central Alberta he met Linda Smith. Soon best friends became partners when they married on April 15, 1995. Seldom in the years to come did you not find them together as much as possible. An RV became their home as they travelled Alberta for Ernie’s work accompanied by at least one sometimes two shepherd dogs. Often Ernie’s son Bernie or his brother Allen would be working with him, those were the special jobs.
Drumheller was home on days off unless he and Linda were travelling, which was a joy for them both. South of the border was their favourite destination. They loved to explore the natural wonders, the historical sites or entertaining, just being with each other was what mattered most. The last couple of years their travelling was confined to Alberta and Saskatchewan, doing shorter trips as Ernie battled not one but two types of cancer. Ernie lost his battle August 8, 2024 at the Drumheller Health Centre, at the age of 70 years.
Ernie was predeceased by his parents, sister Lorna, mother-in-law, stepdaughter Melinda (Myndi) Werbowy.
Ernie’s leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife Linda, son Bernie (Amanda), granddaughters Taylor, Tanille, Tori, Ariana, and Savana, his siblings Carol and Norman Bentley, Allen and Rose Paradis, Linnette and Dwayne Newby, Patricia and Randy Jeffrey, numerous relatives, Linda’s family and a lifetime of friends. There will be a private family service at a later date.
If friends so desire memorial donations may be made to Haying in the 30’s, Cancer Support Society, Box 35, Mallaig, Alberta, T0A 2K0 or Drumheller Area Health Foundation (Acute Care) or Sunshine Lodge Activities Fund. A special thanks to the many staff at the Drumheller Health Centre for their care of Ernie and their many kindnesses to Linda.
Courtney Winter’s Funeral Homes are in care of the arrangements.
To Those I Love and Those
Who Love Me…
When I’m gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you’ve shown,
But now it’s time I traveled alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
And let your grief be comforted by trust.
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can’t see me, I’ll be near,
If you listen with your heart, you’ll hear
All of my love around you soft and clear.
Then, when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile; “Welcome Home”
