Ernest William Staub, Jr.

July 25, 1937 — July 9, 2022

Thurmont

Ernest William Staub Jr. was a man of few words and many loving actions. A native of Thurmont, he was born July 25th, 1937 and passed peacefully surrounded by family on July 9th, 2022. He was the brother of Helen Troxell (Robert Troxell), Cathy Young (Loring Young), Margaret Garner (Fred Garner), and Calvin Staub Sr. (Kitty Staub), and the son of Vida Staub and Ernest Staub Sr. After he graduated from Thurmont High School in 1955, he served in the military for two years, before he built with his own two hands the home he lived in with his beloved wife of nearly sixty two years, Mary Virginia Staub.

A talented carpenter, Ernie owned his own construction business, Ernie’s Home Improvement.

Ernie’s handy nature and generosity were not limited to his family, but were extended to many dear friends and neighbors, and he was the president of the FFA for two years.

An extremely caring person, he will be dearly missed by his two children, Carol Fasick Joyce, and Sabrina Staub. He was loved fiercely by his four grandchildren, Cyrus Staub (Amanda Zamora), Phoenix Staub (Zachariah Diaz), Hannah Fasick (Matthew Keeney), and Gregory Ches Fasick (Shelby Fasick). Their Pappy taught them how to ride a tractor, how to pick a ripe watermelon, and made them many gifts by hand. He was also mischievous -- he was famous for wrapping a Christmas present dozens of times, then chuckling as his grandchildren raced to rip all the paper off the fastest.

The family will receive friends on July 16, 2022 Thurmont Carnival grounds, Fireman’s Activity Building, 123 East Main Street, Thurmont, MD 21788 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. A memorial service to honor Ernest’s life will begin at 12 p.m. All are invited to a lunch reception at 1 p.m.
