Ernest was proceeded in death by his parents, Ernest Joseph Robidoux Sr. (71) and Nancy Eliza Robidoux (85), and his sister, Linda Allen (77) and brother, Lawerence Robidoux (75).

Ernest retired from the City of Jacksonville where he was the Parts Manager of the Motor-pool for 22 years. His energy and boredom led him to going back to work at Discount Auto Parts, where he said it would only be part time. That was lie and he was a manager shortly after. Ernest once again retired from Advance Auto Parts in 2017 but still needed something to do, where he then became a beloved substitute teacher at Interlachen High School.

Ernest was a huge MOPAR fanatic and shared that passion with his children. Ernest loved Florida Gator Football, and being a die hard fan, the angriest you would ever see him get was watching the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ernest wore a bright smile and always maintained a cheerful and positive demeanor. Known to be goofy and outgoing Ernest was truly loved by all.

Services will be held on May 24, 2024 at 11 a.m. at Trinity Baptist Church in Keystone Heights, Florida.
