He also was loved by Tylia and Vincent Crook. Ernie was a lifelong Detroit Lion's fan, loved WWE and UFC the true definition of a family man. Mailloux and I would always tell each other every night that we were each other's best friend, that we were the love of each other's lives and we reminded each other that Love Never Dies; Fly high my sweet.
