Mr. Ernest Lee Cummings, the son of the late Ernest Cummings and the Thelma Glover Cummings, was August 28, 1962 in St. George, SC.  He departed this life for a place of eternal rest on Tuesday, April 23, 2019, at the East Cooper Medical in Mt. Pleasant, SC.

Ernest Lee (affectionately known as "Buck/Buckwheat") attended the public schools of Dorchester County.  He was a member of Shady Grove United Methodist Church.

Buck was employed with Louis Rivers "Big Lou" for approximately 15 years, which was a clear indication that he truly enjoyed his employment.  He worked in construction with Starkes and Son for many years, and was also employed by Michael Mainer Construction.  He was dedicated to all his employers and always spoke very favorable of them.

Buck's main hobby was playing pool and he totally enjoyed playing; but the most important time was the time he spent with family, as well as friends who he loved dearly.  He will be sorely missed from our family and our community.

Buck was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Thelma Cummings; and a brother, John Glover.

Buck leaves loving memories that will be cherished forever as his family celebrates his life:  one daughter, Myeshia L. Neals of Bowman, SC; four sisters, Loretta (Rogers) Glover of Bowman, SC, Dorene (Gerald) Cummings of St. George, SC, Ernestine C.
