Ernie Aguilar Obituary
Ralph Fehr wrote, “Posting in memory of Ernie Aguilar, Julie’s Nashville based bass player. Second from right in this photo. Found murdered in the lane behind his home today. No details yet. Super guy who became a great friend in short order…and great bass player and vocalist. I’m sad and angry right now. Not sure how to grieve a murdered friend.”
Oliver Steele posted, “I’m at a loss. I’m in between crying and not being able to cry…the man on the right is my “uncle” Ernie Aguilar. He, along with my ”uncle” Gary on the other side of my dad, has known me ever since I was a baby, and has been friends with my father a long, long time. He was an incredible musician, and one of the kindest people I knew. Just like uncle Gary, Ernie loved me and my sister as if we were his own kids. His love and guidance was unconditional, and he was the type of person that would go out of his way to help you out. I’m sitting here wishing I would have taken more pictures with him, or called him more often. Ernie I love you so much”
