Ervin attended Capitan High School, New Mexico Military Institute, received his bachelor's degree from the University of New Mexico and master's degree from Highlands University. He had a distinguished career as a Hospital Administrator at Ft. Stanton State Hospital where he was a fourth-generation worker, and where he made a lifetime of memories and friends.

Ervin "Erv" resided at Torres Ranch with his wife Stephanie. Erv had an unwavering love for his family and enjoyed nothing more than having his children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews visit the Rancho as often as possible. Erv enjoyed being at the rio, nurturing his land, gardening, mowing, working on his tractor, walking the land with his mom and coming into the kitchen with his favorite meals prepared by Stephanie as he enjoyed his favorite music. He was always his grandchildren's #1 fan and loved attending all their games and school activities. You could often find him on his favorite golf course or cheering on the lobos. He was extremely proud of his heritage and ancestry; and welcomed sharing it with his family. Erv's energy could fill a room with a single smile and story full of laughter. Erv was passionate about keeping his family's history alive and would want everyone to remember him by sharing memories of his life.

A memorial service will be held on December 28, 2024, 10:30am Rosary and 11:00am service at St. Jude Mission, San Patricio New Mexico. Reception to follow immediately.
