Longtime member Ernie (aka eweed) Weed was from Washington state and joined Davesgarden on August 30, 2003. Ernie passed away at his home on March 10, 2016, surrounded by his family, including his wife Linda and three children, along with two grandchildren.

Members knew from their conversations with Ernie that he loved Golden Retrievers, and had three when he passed.

In his younger years, he worked in Alaska and served in the Navy, and spent some free time fishing and catching large salmon. Ernie had 2 greenhouses, started all of his flowers and vegetable seeds, grew them in the greenhouses, and always had the most beautiful property because of the abundance of the flowers and hanging baskets.

Despite numerous health issues, Ernie was an online and real-life friend to many DG members and visited several of them even when his own health made traveling difficult. His friends will miss his sense of humor found in his posts in the \"Coffee and...\" chat threads.
