On November 23, 2025, our family suffered a heartbreaking loss with the passing of my dad, Bernard. He was a phenomenal musician and a truly great singer whose voice touched everyone who had the privilege of hearing him. His music was a gift, and so was his infectious smile—the kind that could lift your spirit even on the hardest days.

Bernard was an amazing father who always put his kids first. His kindness and generosity shaped our lives, and he leaves behind a powerful legacy built on love, compassion, and the joy he brought into the world. Through his children, his spirit and values live on, reminding us every day of the importance of family and caring for one another.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help cover funeral and memorial service expenses, burial/cremation costs, and to support our family as we navigate this painful and unexpected loss. Any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. Even sharing this page helps us more than you know. Thank you for honoring Bernard’s memory and helping us give him the farewell he deserves.

With love and gratitude, Bernard's family
