Born in Chatham, NB, he was the son of the late Felix and Adele (Girouard) Doucet. Ernie worked as a pulp labourer with Acadia Forest Products and Repap prior to his retirement. He had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and especially enjoyed boating, fishing, hunting, and camping. Ernie was known as a hardworking man who valued family, loyalty, and time spent in nature.

He is also survived by his three grandchildren, Kail, Jacob, and Lila; his nephew Frankie, who held a special place in Ernie’s heart; as well as many nieces and nephews, along with many friends.

Besides his parents, Ernie was predeceased by his siblings Brent, Albert (Claudette) and Delphine.

There will be no visitation. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. from St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, with Father Anthony Dass Papu officiating.
