It was with a heavy heart that I tell you that Steve Ernest passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, February 17. His long journey is over and he can now be happy and at peace.
Stephen Lee Ernest 60, Greenwood, Indiana, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, February 17. Steve was born November 13, 1946 in Findlay, Ohio, the eldest son of Dale and Doris (Halbgewoks) Ernest. He was a graduate of Arlington High School and Indiana University.
He was an industrial sales recruiter with Sales Consultants/Management Recruiters for 20 years. He later worked as a payroll services sales representative for 8 years, before retiring in 2006. Steve was a member of Center Grove Presbyterian Church, Kappa Delta Rho fraternity, Masonic Lodge # 685, Indianapolis, and the Johnson County Chapter of the IU Alumni Association.
Steve became interested in barbershop harmony singing while a student at Arlington. He was a 33-year member of the Barbershop Harmony Society, and sang faithfully every Tuesday night with the Columbus-Greenwood Chordlighter chorus. He sang with several barbershop quartets through the years, most notably the Sharpshooters comedy quartet, performing shows in communities throughout the Midwest and Southwest United States. The Cardinal District of the Barbershop Harmony Society recognized Steve as the 2005 Barbershopper of the Year for chapters in Indiana and Kentucky.
