Victor Jose Bernard, Jr.

Victor Jose Bernard, Jr. (April 12, 1950 – January 30, 2026) was a man of service, strength, and deep love. After serving honorably in the U.S. Marine Corps (1968–1974) and the NYPD (1974–1984), Victor found his greatest adventure in 1989 when he moved to California and met his wife, Judith.

Married on September 12, 1991, Victor was Judith’s "home" and greatest confidant for over three decades. Whether he was riding his Harley or enjoying a classic film, his spirit was as steady as the Zippo lighters he collected.

Though his family’s hearts are shattered by this silence, they find peace knowing this is not the final story. Victor is survived by his wife, Judith; his sisters, Consuelo and Dolores; his children, Kristina and Timothy Eric; and many cherished friends. He will be carried in every breath until the day they are reunited in the place God has ready.
