Donald "Donny" Bruce Bernard Jr., 55, born on August 7,1970, passed away peacefully on April 11, 2026.

He was a 1989 Northside High School graduate. Donny was truly one of a kind, a lifelong jokester who could make anyone laugh, no matter the situation. He had a deep love for music and spent much of his time playing the drums and guitar with several different bands. When he wasn't making music, you could find him fishing, enjoying the peace of the sunsets and beaches in Florida, or camping with friends and family.

Donny is survived by his mother, Carol Bernard; three children, Kiley Langohr; Kaleb Bernard, and Kloee Conner; two grandchildren, Mia Hull, and Asher Leveck; two sisters, Deborah Stensland, and Lisa Mccullough; 9 nieces and 10 nephews; and a significant other and caretaker, Kim Kugler.

He was preceded in death by his father, Donald Bruce Bernard; grandparents, Charles and Dora LeGras; and Gertrude Bernard.

A funeral service will take place on Friday, April 24, 2026, at 7 pm, located at FairHaven Funeral Home and Cremation Services (6557 N. Clinton Street) with calling starting one hour prior at 6 pm.
