I never imagined I would have to create a GoFundMe in the wake of my son's death. Willie "Mistah Man" Bernstine was only 32, joyful, and full of life. He was a hardworking, loving father that fully supported his wife and children. He loved dogs, horses, traveling, music, and motorcycles. All of that came to an abrupt end when he was tragically murdered in front of his job on New Year’s Eve.

Mistah was the sole financial supporter of his family and a dedicated father. He leaves behind a grief-stricken wife, a toddler, and an infant who depended on him. Despite our pain, my daughter-in-love must arrange funeral logistics, pay rent, get groceries, buy diapers and milk while meeting all the demands of daily life.

We are raising funds to help support his wife, Angel, and their two small children.

Please consider donating what you feel comfortable with, even if it’s just a few dollars, to lessen the overwhelming emotional and financial burden that my family is facing.

Keep us also in your prayers as we navigate this difficult time.
