Ernest Hodgson (19 Sep 1959 - 12 Dec 2025)

There are many good things I can say about Earnie but I will keep it short because I believe thats how Earnie would want it. Straight to the point :)
When I was young I would look at Earnie and think to myself 'thats how a guy should carry himself' Always on point both image wise and how you talked. I always admired you. You were truly a one off Earnie and you always did things your way. RIP 🙏

❤️

Ernie, I'm so sorry to hear this news. One of my favourite people I've ever had the privilege to meet in this life. Helped me through some dark spells way back, with mucky language and lots of laughs. You were always so proud of your kids whenever we caught up. I'm sorry the years have passed without us meeting again. I will miss you forever. Sleep tight you legend. All my love to the family ❤️❤️❤️ xxx

Ernie and I were good mates at QEGS many years back. Rest in peace old friend

Sending condolences from the Colley Family on Fairholme Drive. Ernie was a top lad, always a guy to look up to, so sorry to hear of his passing Frank, only seems a minute since we were at school or playing footy on Nightingale, and now you’re saying goodbye, rest in peace Ernie.

I am thinking of you Ernie. You were always kind to me. Thankyou for letting me be your usher when you married Mel. I promise I will keep an eye on Alex Alicia and the twins. Rest in peace 🙏

Sleep tight Ernie

Sleep well Ernest xx

Sleep tight uncle Ernie xx

For looking after my dad x

I could talk to you about anything
And our chats I will really miss,
But most of all, I’ll miss the words
“Morning, how are you sis?”

I look at the empty chair where we used to sit
Big brother, that’s so hard to see
But if I shut my eyes, and think of you
I can still hear you talk to me.

Your humour, stories and memories
I will continue to hold so dear,
But some advice you didn’t give me Ernie,
Was how to stay strong without you here ❤️

30 years we have known each other had children together now two gorgeous grandsons , I will look after them all for you rest peacefully Ernie you will be remembered xx
