Obituary for Ernest Bon Cabrera
Ernest “Ernie” Bon Cabrera of Delano/ Bakersfield was born on a Friday, Dec. 5, 1941 and passed away Dec. 29, 2020.
Ernie was born to the late Ernest & Mary Cabrera in Bakersfield, CA.
Ernie graduated from Delano High in 1960. After graduation he served in the United States Army for 3 years 3 months and 3 days at Fort Ord, where he also played baseball for the team. Ernie also served 5 years and 3 months in the Army National Guard.
In 1990, he met the love of his life Janet. They met working at the same office complex. After that moment of meeting, their love story began. Those two were inseparable, they loved loving each other. The love they shared for each other made you want that kind of love. They did everything together, from dancing on the weekends, Dodger games, spending time with family. Some of the best memories are in the Cabrera household, always welcoming and comfortable.
Ernie had one of the best personalities. There was magnetism about connecting in a conversation with him, funny or serious (mostly funny). He loved making people laugh, especially his (love) Janet. Ernie was the life of the party. He was a wonderful husband father, brother, grandpa, brother-in-law, uncle, and friends. This life will not be the same without the charisma of Ernie. He was a rare spirit to all of us.
Ernie is preceded in death by his parents, Ernest & Mary Cabrera, (sister) Sandra Rodriguez, (grandson) Angel Cabrera, (mother-in-law) Nico Blair.
He is survived by his love (wife) Janet Cabrera, (sister) Cecilia Rangel, (brother) Mike Cabrera, (son) Ernie Cabrera III, (son) Paul (wife) Olivia Cabrera, (daughter) Amy (husband) Jason Stacey, (daughter) Janeen (husband) Jose Andrade, (son) Paul (wife) Fenya Arismendez, (son) Bryan Cabrera, (daughter) apple of his eye Amber Bowman and 25 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.
