ERNIE SCOTT LEACH
Ernie Scott Leach, 51 of Connersville passed away on Wednesday, October 6, 2021. He was born on December 26, 1969, in Connersville to Richard Leach and Mattie Cornett Leach.
Ernie was a self-taught musician who could play any instrument you would put in front of him. Music was Ernie’s life; he was involved in the union musicians club through Nashville. He had a studio built at his home to have the ability to record music of any kind. There are many members of our community who Ernie taught how to play an instrument, whether that be a guitar, the drums, or any other instrument they brought to him to learn. His music was thought of being some of the best in the area. His talent will forever be missed but will live on through those he was able to teach. If he wasn’t playing music, you could often find him out deer hunting.
Ernie will be greatly missed by his sons, Tucker Leach and Cooper Leach; a brother, Ron Leach; sister and brother-in-law, Debbie, and Devin Walton; five nephews and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
